Take a deep Breath!


I have decided to take a deep breath and show my "bald" photo. As we wait for spring I know I do not want to be wearing hot hats etc all the time and evetually someone will sho up at the house and see me as I am! so lets just get it over with. If Brittany can show it all so can I!!

AS for post chemo everything is going just great this time! Have obviously found the right "cocktail for me! Some slight queasyiness but no real nausea and more important no pucking!!!!! Very tired and out of it with these drugs but I think it is a good trade off.

Did I mention that my port-a-cath has become my new best friend, every bit of pain getting it was well worth it as access was a breeze!! I love it and it is healing well with no sign of the dreaded infection I was so worried about!
Hope you are all having as good a day as me, lazing about in bed with some computer time!

Hi Shirley!
You look great....Britney has nothing on you! I am so pleased to hear that you are doing well, on this round. Maybe your cocktails are finally mixed right.
Hugs to you!

OK Shirl,

If you see this, just let us know you're doing ok. Worried you haven't been on for a couple of days and I don't want to call you for fear you are resting.

Let us know if you can ok.

Love, Carol

Hey Shirley!

Donna gave your blog site, I hope you don't mind. I'm glad you're sharing your journey with us. Knowing your nature, you're going to beat this. Keep up with the good spirits.

Hey Shirley - you look marvelous! Beautiful inside and out. Good luck with all the drugs. Can't wait for the posts once you take the happy ones that will give you munchies. LOL. Would have posted earlier but I just figured out how to open a google account....

Hang tough! Can't wait to see you in Hamilton at the end of the month.

Love NancyH
