Happy Holidays!

My second dose of Herceptin had less side effects than the first. There is hope that every treatment will get easier. YEAH! The disappointing part is that I was at the Center for 5 hours for a 90 minute procedure. I was waiting in the waiting area for 2 hours. When I went to the desk to tell them I needed to reschedule my nurse was there in nothing flat. Just Crazy.



My hair is long enough to be messy after a good nights sleep. It is trying to be curly. Growing back the same color. If you have not seen me I would describe it as an outgrown army cut right now. It has been growing for 2 or 3 months now.



I have my next oncologist appt in Jan and my plastic surgeon I see in Jan. also. The next surgery is done as an outpatient and in the surgery area of the Dr. office. Sounds scary to me. But the easiest and last surgery of all!



Physical Therapy is coming to an end before Christmas too. I have 3 appointments left. Yippee!

I now can raise my arm over my head on an upswing. Well very close over my head. Loosening the joint is the biggest problem now since it has not moved a whole lot since Aug. 1.





The Anglim's wish for you to have the MERRIEST of Christmas this year and the HEALTHIEST New Year.

Peace

Kelly

Kelly,
I'm glad to see you are feeling better. I do have to say that you look great!! I got to see my aunt over the Thanksgiving holiday and she too is a recent survivor and her hair is also growing back in, but she has always been blond and it is growing in dark...it s the craziest thing! I think the short hair thing is a good look on both of you, it shows your struggles and your growths that you have endured this past year!! Let's hope that 2008 is a healthier year for all of us...you are still in my prayers and you truly are an inspiration!
