Chemo #2
Passing on from Mom----Hi! Blood work was darn near "perfect" - very good news as he expects that because I got through the first treatment so well, the same should be true of the remaining 7 treatments. So, that is very goodnews, as I had no vomiting, no major appetite problems, no missed meals, no numbness, no tingling, no mouth sores. The plastic surgeon opted to wait another two weeks before doing an expansion. Said everything looks good, but would just as soon wait as long as we're returning every two weeks anyway. So, we'll be coming back, on Tuesday, 8/21 for the same routine as we had today& tomorrow. The Plastic Surgeon needs to do the 1st expansion himself and after that one his R. N. can do them. That being said we won'thave to work around his schedule too and the hope is that we can do everything in a 1 day trip after the two day trip on 8/21 & 8/22. Had a "glob" of hair come out this morning - so I have an appointmentat a salon here at 6:45 tonight for get more cut off, go much shorter.Think we'll have a glass of wine before going to the appointment and then go for dinner after. Have some tingling on my scalp & havebeen afraid to touch my head/hair all day. Fern said day 13 or 14,Dr. Jurgens says day 14, so here we go! Glad I brought one of thewigs along as well as the hat. All for now - love you all! Kathy

Hi Kathy - Sounds like you're doing great and are facing this with a positive attitude. We miss you here in B.D. Played golf in a small guest day outing today - guess some wanted it in the afternoon and it wasn't but it was very nice. Hope Duane is waiting on you hand and foot. Enjoy the glass of wine!!! Hugs, Kathy M.
Glad everything is going well. I always have you in my thoughts and prayers. Let's face it, you could walk around with a live chicken on your head and still look beautiful. Love You Steph
Hi Kathy,
I was thinking of you and wondering how the treatment went. Glad to hear things are going good. Don't worry about your hair, I'm sure the wig will look natural.
