license plates and update

This is probably the longest I haven't written since chemo started. It's already time this week for my Herceptin treatment. The following week I'll have my echo again to check Herceptin's effect on my heart.

My hair's definitely growing in. Last week I didn't wear the stocking thing under my wig, just too itchy! It's actually pretty comfortable without it. This weekend my wig passed a true test for holding on. It was so windy outside, and Sam and I were by the water. The wig stayed on although the photos showed some hairs sticking straight up.

Thanks to my chemo angels, Deb and Karen, for thinking of me and praying for me throughout chemo! They actually continued to correspond for longer than the end of chemo. Thank you, Deb, for what I call the grand finale package! => And, Karen, I continue to get the guideposts that have such encouraging stories. Thank you so much!

Oh, my eyelashes are growing back in! Although they are short, they line my eyes! I actually plucked some eyebrows this weekend. The hairs on my fingers, near the knuckles, kinda look odd since they were absent before.

The referral to the license plates has to do with seeing my initials on TWO license plates this week. I don't think that I've seen one before. I always thought that my license plate starting with FHY was cool because since it was close to my initals of KHY. The plates I saw were KHY 397 and KHY 255. I thought it was a weird coincidence.

Most of the ladies in my chemo group are about finished their radiation treatment. I think that they really did have a tougher time doing rads after chemo. Also, one said that her skin peeled off with the sticker that they put on her. yikes! My skin never got that bad since I did the partial radiation clinical trial.

I'm still waiting for my period to return, but about 2 weeks ago I got a good sign that it may return as soon as this week. No way to really tell though.
