A little less, a little more

After losing so much hair in one day (not counting the mess that was in the shower drain as well), I decided to take a pair of scissors and just whack away at my hair.  Even though I had shortened it already, the weight of it was really hurting my scalp.  I had no thought to style . . . just to lightening the load.  Not bad, eh?  Tossed a wee bit of gel in it to remove the "pouf."  We'll see how long this remains in.

I also went back to the hospital today for another blood check.  I went mid-afternoon and there were very few people there.  I was able to speak with the senior technician and tell him a bit more about my situation.  He asked if I took any medicine to increase my numbers and I told him that I didn't (although, I guess the shot I took the day after chemo helps with that).  He did the test and gave me the results almost immediately (he had no one else in the queue).  The numbers were great!  Even better than my pre-chemo numbers!  Both he and I were relieved.

God is good . . . all the time!  I am so incredibly grateful.  This will keep my chemo cycle on schedule for next week.

    God's Story

    _I believe we all have a story. This blog records my story and how I've lived with breast cancer both as a primary disease and a terminal disease.  I believe this is all a part of God's story for my life. This blog unapologetically includes all areas of my life: my faith, my family and my advocacy for change in the metastatic breast cancer world.
