^#*%$(%) The chemo had made me pretty tired, a little nauseous. I had major heartburn this weekend...according to my Oncologist- it was his fault :-D He said the steroids he gave me to help offset the chemo were what did that to me. Then I started feeling nauseous tonight, can't sleep. ARGH!!! I was going to try to go to work tomorrow, now, I don't know what is going to happen. Dammit! I am so sick of this crap! Took some of my million meds, hopefully that will help.
Okay, enough of the pity party!! I shaved my head this weekend, rather my little brother shaved my head this weekend. I was sad, I cried, I think we all did in our own way. I look weird (I think I do), guess it's mostly because I am not used to seeing myself without any hair. Mom kept telling me not to cut my hair, to wait and see if it would fall out, but the doctor had already told me it would be happening, I didn't think I could handle seeing my hair falling out. I don't think Matt would be able to handle it either. Anyway, NOW...my head is cold!! LOL!!!
Big thank you to my wonderful friend Janet Calhoun and her friend, Sandra Bennight for bringing food for us tonight and for tomorrow. What a blessing to have such wonderful friends.
While I am sending out my thank you's...please visit and contribute if you can to my friend Barb Edwards, as she walks to raise money to fight breast cancer. Barb's Komen 3Day blog

Abel, honey thank you for taking such good care of me every night especially, when I complain about the sheets not being straight or that it's too hot, and rubbing my back. I love you!

Hey there my Friend,
Sending you thoughts from the other side of the world..You are in our prayers...We love you!

HUG from Me!
Hey girl! It will get better. Steroids are great for nausea, but cause nausea. Does that crap make sense?? Not to me either. They make you want to climb the walls even though you are exhausted too..anyway enough from the looney nurse side. The two monkeys love you and wish you well and their crazy mom does too! Have an excellent day. PS (I know you are beautiful) HUGS!!! LOVE You!!! Lissa
I've got some caps to give you. Claire introduced me to them, and they were fantastic. Just enough to keep my head warm, and at the same time keep my body cool. It's hard to keep the internal temp in check.
anytime sister you need to talk I am here. I am finally feeling better with no fever so I want to go see you. I can't imagine what your going through sis and I am sorry, but hang in there. I know God will help you threw this and I ve been thinking as soon as your done with all this s$#% we should take a trip. What about the beach!!!
