Favorite cancer quote today "three negatives make a positive" (sigh) clearly you did not do well in Algebra!!!
I got my hair cut today, I have always wanted a really sassy look and Kelly told me, "go do it" so I did!!!
Speaking of my children, everyone is asking me about how everyone is taking the cancer. ECT is extremely honest with the boys, she doesn't want them to be surprised by anything they may see, so she tells them everything. Actually, that's how I do everything, I just tell them the truth, no sugar coating. I am sure they are expecting me to look like Alien, and Nick said as long as he could rub my head, he would be fine.
William seems a little bit more worried, but he's the sensitive one. His friends ask him how I am, I think that's nice. It's such a tiny wonderful loving school.
Whit, he's just perfect, and always says the right things. He loves me unconditionally and I know that and I feel so very special to be his wife. He's scared and work is a monster right now but he's text book perfect and I love him dearly.
When I thought I was getting a double mastectomy all I noticed was boobs (and believe me they are prevalent here near south beach) big boobs, bouncy boobs, perky boobs, overdone boobs, saggy boobs, wear no bra boobs, wow, look in a mirror boobs, PEN boobs, everywhere.
Now all I notice is hair, long short red brown blonde flowing curly brown highlighted, you name it, hair everywhere. My dear sweet friend who I adore and miss (Renee) advised me to go get a wig now, awesome idea, think I will check it out and see what there is out there here in Hollywood, FL. You hope with a name like Hollywood and all the seniors here, I would find a decent shop. I think that will be on the short list to do, but I don't want to go alone, any takers?
I want to mention that Melinda made me lol with tears last night, thank you. Then my dear sweet friend Linda reminded me that everyone I come in contact with has a problem in their life right now and it made me realize that I shouldn't be having my own special lose hair TNBC pity party , although ECT is really having a hard time with that perspective. You need everyone in your life, love you Linda, thank you for helping me keep things in perspective.
I LOVE all you comments and emails to me, I'm like a tick on a June bug with the computer , I can't wait to see what wonderful messages and notes I have, thank you!!!!
Cute hair cut. And yes, definitely buy the wig ahead of time. I chose to go for a totally different look (from blonde to red) and then bought several in other colors as well, just for fun. Nice wigs are expensive, but there are several online wig shops with "cheap" wigs that still look fine. As a practical matter, you're probably only going to wear the wig for a few months. For me it was from March 13th to July 19th. I shaved my head on March 13th. Last chemo was April 30th. Hair started coming back at the end of May and by July 19th and the 106 degree weather at my Survivor party, I was done with the wigs. So keep that in mind when you shop for the wig. (Chris and a girlfriend went wig shopping with me. We actually had fun trying on several different styles!)
