We go back for the second chemo on Tuesday.

I can understand that the wig is a big change, and takes time for getting used to. The hats, and scarves are a good start, and i'm sure they look great on your mom.

Debbie, don't worry about what other people think. Just wear what ever feels comfortable!!!!! I bet that you look cute with a scarf around your head!!!! I'll be praying that all goes well on Tuesday!!!

Yes Debbie, don't you worry one bit about what people think. They don't know you and what you are going through. I think scarfs are a great look, there are so many ways to style them.

Thanks guys.. I am going to ask for a new medicine for the nausea this time. Hopefully it won't be as bad. I just have to keep remembering it only last a few days. I had about ten really good days after i got over all that so I am going to just try to keep in mind that it will pass.

Did we talk about Swedish Bitters - they really helped my father with preventing the nausea. He took drops in his tea each morning. Talk to a homeopath.

You will be fine. I'm sure the Zofran will be better than the Fenrigan (sp?). I'm so glad my professor said it's okay for me to go with you! I would've been really sad if you only had Brendon with you...

Debbie,

You're so courageous! You just keep putting one foot in front of the other and look for the positive side of whatever is happening.

I think you should get a Halloween scarf for Wednesday.

I hope the new medication helps for the nausea.

Prayers and hugs,

Judy
