Treatment Day

I have had a real good week. My radiation site is almost healed completely and I fell pretty good. A little indigestion but that's about all. I went for my Herceptin treatment today and was pretty much in and out. It only took about two hours so that was nice. There was a new patient there today, a woman about my age with the most beautiful hair clear past her waist. She said that today is three weeks in treatment and it started to fall out today. She was going to go home tonight and cut it for Locks of Love and donate it. I felt so bad for her. I said to her that I would like to tell her there is an upside to losing your hair but there isn't one so..................I did feel so bad for her that she is just starting into it to. I showed everyone my curly hair and they all agreed how lucky I am that it came in so thick and curly. I guess most peoples come in in patches and real thin (I know everyone I was in treatment with had real sparse thin hair coming in. I have really been so fortunate all the way around on this deal-knock on wood- and thanks for all your thoughts and prayers)

Cliff and I are still bored but we are going to visit Cliff's cousins in Vegas on Friday, then we are going to Olivia's dance recital on Saturday morning and then we are leaving from there to go on our trip so I am counting the days. Oh Cliff's Mom and Dad's housed got burglarized yesterday. They left for a minute to get a hamburger for lunch and left the side door to the garage unlocked and someone broke in in the 15 minutes they were gone and took their lap top and their big screen TV. I felt so bad for them I am just grateful that Cliff's Mom (who is blind) was not home alone when it happened or goodness knows what would have happened. So as always we count our blessings with the thought that the things lost are only things and can be replaced and everyone is OK.
