Well round two has begun. Once again the nurse (Gina) and the medical assistant (Lisa) were awesome. Willing to answer our questions and do it with a pleasant, reassuring attitude. They are truly two of our Angels. The therapy went as planned and lasted about 3hrs. Have to give thanks to my sister for stopping by for this treatment, it was a pleasant distraction. Even if she did just use it as an excuse to escape the kids. I have to say that our treatment room was the most filled and had the most laughter.
Currently we are dealing with the whole hair loss deal. It really started this weekend and has become more of a strain than at least I expected (what do I know, I'm a guy). The tricky part about the treatments is timing, and when things happen when your headed toward 4 days of nausea and fatigue the last thing you have time to deal with is wig hunting. So we are morning the loss of those pretty locks and trying to decide on whether to beat the chemo to the punch and cut it off or let the process happen naturally. There is no right or wrong way, it's just what's best for the bride.
So begins the 4 days we dread the most. Blockbuster has been raided for it's best new releases, and the saltines and ginger ale are stocked up. Please continue to send up those prayers and post some encouragement they truly make the best medicine.
Keep up the good work team

I just wanted you all to know that I'm praying for you.
ReplyDeleteZabrina, You are one of the most beautiful people in know, inside and out. While I am very much aware that the she-she poo, girliness in us is very attached to the physical attributes (and girl you got 'um in spades!! ;) and that you have every right to mourn your hair, I want you to know that I will be thinking of your (yes, after my cousin and uncle I'm going to throw this out there!) bare head, as a symbol of absolute strength and beauty. For that is what you always have been to me and this is just another brick in brick in that wall. Be strong and be well, my beautiful friend!

ReplyDeleteKnow that I am praying steadfast and earnestly for you Zabrina. My family in southern Ohio has what appears to be a pretty strong prayer chain going as well. Praise God for followers.
ReplyDeleteJeff you are right about fire departments taking care of their own, if you need anything please ask.
God Bless and may I envoke the name of Jesus to cover you all.
