Chemo Round 1: Me vs. the Red Devil

Today was my first treatment, and as of now I'm feeling pretty good. I think it will all hit me Friday night and through the weekend. So, I (hopefully) have 24 hours before the bad stuff comes on. Today was pretty easy, I was hooked up to an IV and sat as the Devil tried to take hold. I've been feeling a little dizzy, but other than that, not much else. My mom and my friend Amy came and sat with me the entire 5 hours. Can you believe just 4 weeks ago Amy had her brain surgery and I was sitting with her? Now, she's back to waiting on me. I'm guessing our roles will switch back and forth for the next few months! At least we have each other to fight the tumors so we have named ourselves "Tumor Twins".

After chemo we all went to Super Cuts so Amy and I could get hair cuts. Poor Deborah (the stylist) asked me why I was having such a drastic cut... Chemo... enough said. THEN, Amy goes right after me and the poor lady takes off Amy's hat and sees the massive scar across her head. She gasped at the situation and had to sit a minute. We do create quite a commotion. She refused to cut Amy's hair shorter in the back, because she wanted to make sure there was enough hair for the comb over. God love her!






So, still in good spirits. so the Devil hasn't gotten me yet.
