My Hair Hurts

I just had my third treatment of the new chemotherapy yesterday. So far so good. The only side effect I have encountered is the top of my head feels sensitive. It feels like my hair hurts but I know that's not possible. It just hurts my scalp whenever my hair moves. Weird sensation... Watch out for the windy days.

No treatment next Wednesday because the doctor wants my immune system to build back up. They told me not to be around anyone who is sick. Which seemed a little strange when I went straight to the Pharmacy to fill my prescription and I'm sitting in the waiting area with people all around me coughing and sneezing. Where's my bubble?

I continue my dance classes every Thursday evening. I'm looking forward to it tonight, last week we didn't have class because the group was in L.A. performing for the L.A. Clippers halftime. One gal pal calls me a "cheerleader". I call it "fun"!

Thanks to all of your donations in my behalf for the cancer walk that I'll be doing this November. I love you all.

Fun In Phoenix

Having just spent the past week in Phoenix I have to say we couldn't have had more fun.

On the way we stopped to see my nephew's new baby. Justin and Heather recently added baby Hudson to the family. He couldn't be more handsome... looks like his dad!



After arriving in Phoenix the first celebration was the blessing of our seventh grandbaby, Maggie. She looked absolutely beautiful and as always it was fun to have all seven grandchildren together.







We spent a day at the zoo.







We spent time at a great park with fun rides for the kids.







My girls and I and five of the grandkids had lunch with my cousin Terri and her daughter Corinne.



And of course an enjoyable afternoon at my niece's lacross game.
See Jane run...





And just plain fun in Dan and Holly's backyard.









The finale was the homecoming of my nephew Scott from his mission to Chile... sorry I didn't get a picture of that one.

Not to mention all of my kids now have their hair cut short (girls) and/or shaven (boys). I do have a tremendous support group in my family and friends. And thank you to those who have donated to the cancer walk, I now have over $1,500. I can't even begin to thank you and tell you how much I appreciate all your support.

My new chemotherapy starts on Wednesday...

Love ya Mom!

Unfortunately, unlike my sisters, my hair wasn't long enough to donate to locks of love. Love you Mom!
