R5D15

I went in for chemo yesterday. My counts were too low and they wouldn't let me get it. It's a happy and sad thing at the same time. I'm going to Minnesota on Sunday with Michael and my sisters to see my Mom. So, I'm glad that I won't be feeling sick. On the other hand, is not getting this treatment going to be a negative thing in fighting my disease. There was talk of further lowering my dosage. What will that do to the abililty to fight the cancer? I have no answers right now. I am looking forward to getting out of town, seeing my mother and any other rellertives who show up, and leaving the pancan at home.

Jane -- Just checking in ... sounds like things are a little scary with the unknowns. I'm thinking of you and praying for you. The hair thing is a very tough decision. I decided to cut mine off and was happy with the decision partly because I didn't have to spend any energy thinking about it anymore. If the prospect of being looked at strangely is a concern ... you might be surprised how many people are completely oblivious to the fact that you don't have hair sticking out. Besides ... most everyone has had someone in their life touched by cancer. So it isn't really a shock to anyone. I'm sure you'll make the decision that's right for you.

Lots of love and prayers your way ...
