HOORAY FOR DRUGS!
As many of you already know, I had my second "icky" A/C chemo treatment last Tuesday. And thanks to an added nausea drug, it was much, much easier this time. I really only had about a day-and-a-half where I felt really bad and needed someone here to help with the kids. By Friday, I was ready to be back on my own again. Quite a change from last time! It makes it easier to face the next two A/C treatments.
I have decided to go with a surgically implanted catheter port since I still have a lot of infusions ahead of me (a year's worth, in total). I will have this done by my cancer surgeon at Emory next week (a simple outpatient procedure) and then have my next chemo treatment on Aug. 17.
Out of the mouths of babes: My friend Julie was visiting with her precious kids and little Hannah, just turned 3 years old, looked at my bald head under a baseball cap and said, so sweetly and matter-of-factly, "You don't have your hair yet." No judgement, no fear, just matter-of-fact. Too bad us adults can't see the world like they do.
Thanks to everyone for all the support. We couldn't do this without you!
Love to all,
Michelle
