One more treatment to go! I just published two 'newer' photos of what my hair looked like right before I began and today....Seems like I have a ton more of grey hair...and I have to style it this way to make it look a little thicker.
I am feeling fine. I was busy on Tuesday - did two haircuts then went food shopping and then home to do five more cuts....I get a steroid with my cocktail so I have a high energy level. Wednesday after having my pump disconnected I went to finish up my Christmas shopping. In between all this, I've been decorating the house. I think it's finally done...at least that's what Charlie says. He refuses to go back into the attic to find the tree skirt. The last box he brought down had our 'vacation ornaments' in it. My tree is so full - you wouldn't miss any. I asked Samantha if when she looks at the tree - does any of those ornaments bring back memories. When I bought some each year I always tried to find ones that had to do with what was going on in our lives at the time. I remember each and every one of them....Sam's not too sure on a few.
We'll be home for Christmas. Patty (my sister) is having Christmas Eve...but Saturday is or has been one of the worst days for me - so driving a bit over an hour - and maybe getting my 'attack' is too scary for me...so we will all be here...not sure if Nicholas will be here on Christmas Eve and sleep over....he's still making his decision on that one...sleep in his own bed or on the floor in the basement....hmmmm
When I spoke with Dr. May about when I'd get a 'scan'...I asked for a 7 week waiting period (as the last two that I had) - showed something then. She would like me to go right after my last treatment - which would bring us to probably the third week in January. I'm just praying that there is 'nothing'....that the two 'newest' and 'only' lesions there are gone! If so, then I would wait another few weeks to get another scan....(I think)....all this stuff is new to me and any other medical information I would need - I would know what they'd do...but with cancer - I haven't a clue and can never figure out why and when they do stuff.
Christmas is a time of miracles - even though they happen all the time.
Thank YOU all for being part of my life and supporting me through this....you are all very patient in listening (reading) about my journey. Thank you!!!
