Chuggin Along...

I hope everyone had a yummygoodfantastic Thanksgiving!  I am definitely thankful for all of my friends and family old and new.  You truly know how much they mean to you when things get rough...thank you everyone!  And special thanks to Aunt Sandy and Mom for helping sooooo much before, during and after the move.  We never could have done it without you!
Well, we are done moving for now and slowly getting used to a new routine.  Chemo last week was a breeze because it was just Herceptin which only takes 30 minutes to drip.  Tomorrow I will meet with the oncologist up here in Truckee and hopefully switch to getting my chemo up here..10 minutes away!  That will help alot when I start back to work.  I'm thinking of going back to work Dec 12 or so.  Also, I went in to get my genetic testing done to see if I am positive for the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation. Should find that out in the next few days.
I started losing my hair, so I just had Chris shave my head....photo follows.....hahaha

  1. I think you look FASTASTIC--I sort of like that "slick head" look--and just think absolutely no more bad hair days at all!!! Love you so much--and thanks Chris, for being there for my wonderful daughter--you're the greatest!! Love, Ma

  2. Thanks for the update. You two are so cute. Can hardly tell you apart now! :-) Love you both and so very proud of you! Praying that tomorrow's appointment will go well and that the transfer to this more convenient chemo center happens soon. Seems like the potential benefits are great.

I hope you can change your treatment to Truckee, it would be much easier on you. Going back to work sounds good just don't do to much. Love you Princess - Aunt Sher

  5. I think the look is GREAT!! Of course, I don't have anymore hair to lose, so maybe my feelings on the matter are a bit biased. You two do indeed make a cute couple. Much love to you, Laura! Gabe
