Hello Dear Friends and Family,
Sorry it has been a couple weeks since my last update. It was a bit of a tough time with the first chemo treatment. As of the Monday after my first Oct. 17th chemo treatment, I was sick for about 5 days with flu symptoms and stomach pains. I also had a reaction to the chemo and had hives over my entire torso for a week. They are trying to figure out how to control this from happening again before my next November 7th chemo treatment. Nothing that I can't get through....just itchy, ugly and annoying. My hair started falling out on Wednesday, October 29th so we "attacked" and hubby Keith shaved my head on October 30th. Keith offered to shave his head too several times but I won't let him. Above arei a couple pictures of the bootcamp look. The stubbele are falling out fast but not quite in time to be a Saturday Night Live Conehead for Halloween tonight. My white blood count is way down now so with the flu season in full swing I have to avoid crowds and being around germs as much as possible for the next couple months so if you don't see me at events personally know that I am there in spirit.
Thank you again for the outpouring of love that keeps coming in and for all those that walked and supported Breast Cancer during Breast Cancer Awareness month. A couple pictures of some of my supporters below. Thanks cousins Sue and Melissa for walking for me in Miami (cousin Melissa in the picture below with sign)!
