Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Thanks Peg, I get nervous at times too, mostly when I get to feeling sorry for myself. Then I get on here and see those awesome women that have had double mastectomies and my lumpectomy becomes minor. Chemo is the pits but so far it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I haven't been sick one single day, just bone tired and useless feeling. But this too shall pass. My new hair cut is a bit shorter than I usually get.... By about 8 inches but that too will grow when the chemo is done. Please give your mom my love and encouragement. I never thought I could do it but by golly here I am and I AM doing it..... Thanks to a lot of women in here. It feels good when my friends are amazed at how strong I am and how well I am taking all this. Makes me feel like SUPERWOMAN!

Trisha Trisha, You look great!!!! We have already started cutting moms hair even though it was before surgery and chemo. She wanted a cute look before hand and realizes it will come out later on. I have told her we will find wig if she wants or scarves or hats what ever makes her comfortable. She is still scared and now with this VAC system it is trying on her nerves. Her nurse suggested since she breaks out in rashes when her nerves get the better of her she is to start taking her Xanax on a regular basis. I hope that helps. Peg Quote
