Three down...

Wow! I just realized that it's been over a month since I have updated this! I guess I should have a lot to say. I have been through 3 chemo sessions. Thankfully I have not experienced any terrible side effects. The last of the adriamyacin and cytoxin is tomorrow! I am halfway there!!

I have continued to work and go to Zumba (most of the time). I have to give my YSC girlfriends that have been there for me and routing me on all this time, a giant "THANKS!"

I have had my mom with me, Patti and my brother for the chemo days. They have all done a great job with bringing snacks!

I have had some interesting times since losing my hair.

This was the day that Jason clipped my hair pretty short. It had started coming out on the day of my second treatment. That Saturday we decided it was best to clip is short....to be in control of it. I went that week without anything like a scarf or wig. I felt pretty good without covering up my head. It was a rough week because the hair kept coming out and it felt like little spiders crawling all over me...especially at night! So...the following Saturday it was time to shave it! Jason and Alexander both started to shave with the razor and then I took over. It was a rough time with us crying...even though we thought we were prepared for this. It was a difficult time for me....I didn't like how I looked at all. I felt like a conehead....from Saturday Night live! I couldn't believe that my head was SO WHITE!!

Alexander keeps kissing my head and telling me how much he loves my head! He has really handled this well. I am very proud of him.

I have not worn the wigs that I bought yet....it seems way too hot for that! I usually wear a bandanna or scarf. The cotton bandanna seem to be the coolest thing to wear since the scarves tend to be heavy or too hot. Believe it or not, this week at work I have gone without ANYTHING!! I walk proudly around and look people straight in their faces and smile. I think it's important that people know that I am not ashamed and that it's o.k. to be comfortable being bald. It took me about two weeks to feel that comfortable but now I rock the bald proudly!

I appreciate all of my supporters that keep telling me that I look good! Especially my husband and son who have shown so much love during this time....
