@HealthyBarb1 and @Dpecra653 Thank you both so much for thinking of me and saying prayers during this busy time. I soooooo appreciate it. Hard to tell with the chemo. Last weekend my throat started feeling weird. The day after chemo I cam down with a cold. Hard to tell which one is kicking my butt. Feeling a lot better…

Had my first chemo treatment today. I feel fine just a little hopped up from the steroids I had to take last night at 8pm and 2am. I will be having six treatments every three weeks. One down five to go. Feeling much more secure and relaxed about everything.

@Dianedoessmiles1 Setting it up an OAL would be great. So much easier for me to find.

@Jer2ber Oh my goodness thank you so much. Your message brought some tears to my eyes. Tomorrow is my final check up on the hysterectomy. Then first chemo Tuesday.

@Dianedoessmiles1 I will probably post here. I will almost certainly be losing my hair purchased a wig on Saturday. It will take some getting used to. So much mor hair than I will ever have. It is a Raquel Welch wig. Very nice. I will try to have fun with it. Here is a picture of it. It is grey with white highlights.

Visit with oncologist yesterday. I have my first appt. for chemo November 21st. I will most certainly lose my hair. But the prognosis is really good with chemo projected 10% chance of it returning. 15% projected if I don't. I am going to do it and hopefully Dr. Duska will stick to 2-3 treatments. I received a call from the…

@Dianedoessmiles1 I will be at 4 weeks Thursday so all things considered I must be doing quite well. BTW I will most likely lose my hair. Oh well could be worse. A couple of my friends are going to help me buy some turbans.

@Ceriusly1 Ceri everyday gets better. Thursday will be four weeks and I am amazed at how good I feel. I do have a fair amount of swelling. My cut goes from the belly button down past the hair line. Yikes hope that isn't TMI. I have to have chemo. Just 2-3 one time rounds consisting of two different drugs. Going to the…

This is o the pumpkin patch but thought I would post it here too: I sure hope so the Dr. said she was going to fix me. I thought everyone might want to know what happened on the way home from the hospital. It was not supposed to rain. We ran into a really bad storm going through a mountainous area. We started to see one…

Oh dear I thought I did. I love Dr. Duska. She is a wonderfully kind and warm person. She said she was going to fix me. She hugged me wow! She was going to do the hysterectomy next Thursday the 19th, but got a cancellation and I will have it this Thursday the 12th. I have to be in Charlottesville for pre-op anesthesia…
