Re: heading into round two

I'm SO glad you're doing better...This is almost like being in school,

(you being in the next grade : ) since you started chemo right

before me. I know I got nervous when you " disappeared " right

after your first chemo (I had all manner of dramatic disasters

befalling you - I was SO relieved when you reappeared...

particularly since I was " next " - whew! : )

I'm starting to shed pretty heavily myself...I thought I was pretty

slick since I ordered a wig August 5th and had my hair cut to

match it, but would you believe that UPS went and LOST MY

HAIR??? I finally got the second one they sent out today. My

hairdresser (whose BP pegged out over this last week) told me

she had ordered from them for 20 years and never had this

happen...Aren't I just special? : ) I've decided to call it " Nick " (as

in " of time " - it looks sort of like a long-haired guinea pig actually...

Hi Jen, hi everyone, thanks nne for your ever

attentive prayers and the blessing of this place.

Well the hair was not ready to give it all up. It is

long long - or was, before this afternoon when I

played with scissors! There I was debating whether to

keep brushing out these tresses or go get a cut or

what to do, when I thought heck I'm moving into

headgear tomorrow anyway, why not? So boom, off it

came but by my own hand!

I'm afraid it's a bit of a mullet now-- but haven't

had it short in very many years and am surprised it

actually looks kind of adorable around the face. Ah

forgive me if you can; in the midst of everything,

here comes vanity for a shout!

Jen when is your next treatment? Are you on AC and for

how long? I'm sorry if you already said and I'm making

you repeat. How are you feeling?

Love the story about Nick.

Okay bye for now

and love from

e

aka big head fred

My next treatment is October 5. I have 4 rounds of AC, four

rounds of Taxol, then 6 months of Herceptin (goodie : ) Your

first treatment was the day after my initial consult with the

onc (I had just joined the group) so I guess that's why I

remember you so well. I stayed in a Phenergan coma for

the first 2 days after #1 (I was kinda green : ) Other than

that it's been okay...well, I get heartburn free with every

meal...oh, and I have sores on my tongue (ew!) But that's

pretty much it, so I guess I'm just dandy : ) I am hoping my

hair will stay on until the weekend, then I think I'll just grab

the horseclippers and have at it - ha!

Oh, a GI Jane I'ma gonnabee....
