I Voted For Hair


It has been three weeks since my last chemo and my hair is still not growing. I am tired of being bald (I really do like hairless legs and pits). I do not like having a cold head. I want hair. So this morning I voted for hair. I sure hope it works.


The latest card, sent to me by GL, is above. I think it is my favorite. The cute little pig dances.
I had my first Herceptin IV this morning. It went well, except for the fact that the nurse told me I was very anemic and might need a transfusion. The Doctor decided to wait a week and see what happens to my red blood cell count. The anemia does explain why I am so tired all the time. It will get better. And all if it, the anemia, the tiredness, the cancer are all indicators that I need to live healthier. I need to eat right and exercise.

Eat prunes (at least 3 a day), red meat has iron, but I cannot stomach liver but maybe you can?! Eleanor's dog Alex is anemic also and has cancer she feeds him lots of liver and he is doing good but then he didn't do any chemo or radiation...

I'm looking forward to our lunch or dinner in December how about we shoot for the 7th for lunch or dinner??

I'm glad you like the dancing, twirling piggy!

Good Lookin
