I met this gorgeous and inspiring woman on my way to a shoot for a special project I am working on. I asked if I could take her photograph and explained what I do with Advanced Style.Her friend told me that Norma had been treated for lymphoma, and  that she looked wonderful and dressed up no matter what, even in the hospital. I asked Norma to share her story with everyone, so that we can all be inspired to never give up. Check out Norma's inspirational words below:
"My name is Norma Zaremby and I am 63 years old.  I worked in advertising  for many years, lost my job in 2003 and then went to work for Bergdorf  Goodman.Unfortunately in July 2009 I was diagnosed with Stage 4  non-Hodgkins lymphoma and the only way to try to save my life was a bone  marrow transplant, which I received in September 2010.  I was given the  bone marrow of a young male donor who I did not know, but who was  gracious enough to try and help me.  I haven't had hair since 2009 and  there are many side effects to the transplant, but I have never let my  appearance change.  I never have a bad  hair day--I just wrap my head with different scarves.  I taught myself  how and have quite a collection. My motto is "never let them see you  sweat." Maybe I can be an inspiration to other women who are battling  cancer and maybe we can help others."
