Chemo #7

Treatment 7 was normal. My blood work came back fine. They left the dosage the same because I go back for treatment 8 on Tuesday. They ran the drip a little faster towards the end, it made me a little foggy. I guess too much too quickly. I picked up meds on the way home (yucky mouth sores...one of the side effects). I've also had an achy jaw and achy teeth. I took a nap! And then did my holiday baking. That's why I'm so late with posting this.
For those who haven't heard yet, I did shave my head last week. Friday to be exact. It was just too much to watch all the hair come out when I washed it and brushed it or even touched it. My sweet husband offered to shave it for me. I opted to go to my hair stylist. It was easier for me handle it there. Plus I didn't how the kids would react to seeing it all shaved off. You may not recognize me. I have many "new looks". Allyson and Madi seem to be okay with my lack of hair. Jake will tell me "no, put hat on". He doesn't like some of the wigs either. Poor guy! He always loved to sit on my lap and twirl my hair. That probably hurts the most. Having my head shaved has been the hardest part because now I "look sick". Before I still looked normal. No one would know I have cancer.

Thanks to all my supporters! All of you are so sweet and generous! I'm so lucky to have so many volunteers to help with babysitting and meals and rides! I am so grateful.

My friends mom, Vicky Buff, is still in ICU. She is showing minor improvements. I believe she is off the ventilator. I guess baby steps are better than nothing. Please keep her in your prayers.

Love,
Terrie
