Well, I had my follow up appointment today with the oncologist. I found out that I will start Chemo next Friday, Dec. 9th. I will go in every 3 weeks, and I will have 6 rounds - about 5 months. I will lose my hair and have nausea..but I am going to try to get my hands on some cold caps - which may lessen or prevent hair loss...
I saw the chairs that I will be spending many hours in...
I am feeling positive, though...I have so much to be thankful for:) And, this next Wednesday, I am getting prosthetic boobs!!! Yeah! I must admit, I am tired of looking like Flat Stanley:) At least if I lose my hair I'll have boobs:)
Looking down the road, there are shots to turn my ovaries off and then removing them altogether - more with genetic counseling, and then I must get stronger - because I will go into pre-menopause...must strengthen my bones!!!
WOW, another day FILLED with news...
Thank you for your love and support...
Here we GO!!!!!
