Cleared for Chemo

This is what my hairbrush looks like at each
swipe through my hair. It is difficult to tell who is
shedding more Lucy the cat, Rusty the dog, or
me. Ken says that there is no contest it is me! I
am so amazed at how easy my hair comes out. As I was using a make up brush on my face it would come into contact with my hair. So in no time at all I have this big dust bunny on the end of my make up brush. EW! Patsy, our lovely house cleaner, will earn her money today!
On Wednesday, I had blood work done and an appointment with the oncologist. The blood work
was good and my oncologist is happy with everything. We went over the new medications and how to stay ahead of the headache and nausea. So this time will be better.
Another piece of good news. The BRACA test results are back. They are negative. Big yeah for my sister and my children and grandchildren. To refresh - that is the genetic testing for cancer.
I am going to get my chemo treatment today at 11:00. My plan is to come home and sleep it off. My sister will be here today, so I am excited to spend some time with her. I know this weekend will kind of be lost with all my sleep. Summer Academy starts on Monday and I am planning on being there. All of the people involved in Summer Academy are very well prepared and tremendously helpful. I am blessed to be surrounded by a professional group of caring people. Thank you.
I have so many things that I would like to be working on, but I tire easily. I don't like it! My tendency is to push myself a little too far. This patience thing is not easy!
