It Takes a Village!

Week two down and four more to go!

Today I had one of those days that I probably should have stayed in bed. Nothing really went right. Saige was home sick with a fever so a few things like a ride to my radiation and a run with a friend needed to be cancelled. All was fine until I went to get into the car to drive myself to the hospital. (thinking it would be easier so I could get in and out and back to Saige) Well, go figure I had no keys! I had left them in my car that went to the shop this morning with Curt. This would be all well and good if this stuff did not happen to me all the time. I am getting tired of saying "oops I forgot.....you know its chemo brain....sorry."

After a few phone calls, my friend Joanne was able to come to the rescue this time and drive me to my appointment. Thanks Joanne! The Radiation Oncologist technicians were very accommodating as well. I couldn't help but think about how many people it has taken to help me through this fight against cancer, honesty it has taken a village!

I really appreciate all the continued support and well wishes. Besides getting the stomach flu last week and losing my mind, all is well. I never did lose my eyebrows or eyelashes just a little thinning and no signs of hair growth just yet. (I have another month or so) I have to say it is funny I often forget that I have no hair and look different. This is where "oops I forgot.....you know its chemo brain....." comes into play again or not, who knows.... I have had some strange looks when I say hi and people have no clue who I am. Oh well. The flip side is the strangers that I meet that share their stories and a hug or two. So I continue onward and am so grateful I have a village of supporters behind me! Thank you.
