Well, I'd said no blog for a couple of weeks but when my hair started coming out in handfuls I got my head shaved. This is a drag and I shed some tears but it isn't nearly as bad as mouth sores. It's better to be bald in summer than winter, no? I thought, well, I'll put up a few photos. I have a new pirate's cap and maybe I'll get a picture of that up after I get some big silver hoop earrings. The new photos are part of the slide show. Just work your way through.
And this afternoon there was good news at the oncologist's. After she admired my pirate cap, she did an exam and said she couldn't feel the cancer at all. So that is a good milestone. Next week I'll see the radiology oncologist and then a couple of weeks later the surgeon will check in. But I'm feeling hopeful. I've resisted feeling optimistic because the healing process has been very hard.
Well, now I really don't think you'll hear from me for a couple of weeks. Maybe after the radiologist's visit.
XXXOOO

Betsy, I think you you are courageous to shave your head. I also think your pirate scarf looks spiffy. You are teaching all of us the realities of cancer treatment. I am amzed you are able to do so with humor. Until your next blog, I wish you wonderful excursions.
Love,
Cathy
