Well, tomorrow I get my first chemo treatment. It got switched from Friday to Thursday, since I am definitely getting the Abraxane. They said that I should be in and out in 2 hours! Wonderful. So I see my surgeon for my post-op in the morning, then head over to Mount Clemens General for the treatment after that. Woo-hoo. I must admit, I'm a little nervous!
With the Abraxane, I don't have to take Prednisone. Yippie! I hate that stuff! I've seen what it's done to my aunt and it's just awful. So I'm very thankful I won't have to have it. I will still loose my hair. Soooo...Suzanne and I went wig shopping on Saturday. (There's a pretty long story behind our "shopping," but that's another blog...) I found the perfect wig! It is so cool! Matter of fact, Suzanne is buying one, as well. I can't wait until we go out dancin'!
The kids love it. And no, I have not lost my hair yet - I'm just trying it out! And yes, I do have a "real" wig, or should I say, "cranial prosthesis" picked out. I was going to pick it up today, but didn't have time. Oh, well. That's what Friday is for. Speaking of Friday...one more yucky thing...I have to get a shot of Neutrogen the day after my chemo. It's an immune system booster kind of thing, to try to keep my white blood cell counts up, I believe. (Lessens the chance of me getting sick from Brenden bringing germs home from school and karate and such!)Ok. I'm off to bed. Phil is insisting that I be to bed by 10:30. We'll see how well that goes. I really, really want to be in bed that early - it just never happens!
