Chemo Round 2

Bald is beautiful! No hair to curl, brush or wash and style. Using a lint roller as the stubble itches so it picks up pieces that are ready to fall out. It was a special event as I sat in the driveway on Saturday evening with Tony ready to start styling. I think they got pictures in various stages. I hope to have someone come over and get them on here so you can enjoy too. Nicole, Scott and even Charli took turns making me beautiful. One of my young college friends received a text from someone who drove by while we were in the process. He wanted to know what was going on at the Anderson's was I okay. Thought that was pretty sweet that a young high school person who I have never met was concerned. Nicole came with me when I went to the bathroom to look for the first time. I will admit that I broke down and sobbed. What a shock even though I had tried to prepare myself emotionally. I am doing alright now and have only worn a ball cap when I worked in the yard yesterday. I do have an appointment with doctor this afternoon and then a memorial service to attend so not sure what I will do. It'll be a surprise!

My brother Tim, a retired grade school principal, will be arriving this evening to be my support this week. I am so grateful that he is able to come and be with me. I start tomorrow morning at 8:30. I covet your prayers for the treatments I will receive this week. Pray that the nausea and weakness will be easier for me to handle this time. I am asking God to bless me again with those great days during the two weeks off.

I will try to do updates. If there is nothing here, it is time for continual prayer for strength, peace and surrender. I desire to be His and to trust and obey even during hard times.

I love each of you.

  2. You don't have to ask us to pray, dear Colette.
    You are always lifted up in our thoughts and prayers!
    I would think a little cap would be good to keep your head warm, but you know best.
    I, too, am glad you have someone with you this week.
    Love, Anne
