Thursday the 7th of February was my 2nd chemotherapy treatment. They used the new port I got,I was less then excited about it it really hurt! Some because it has only been 10 days since it was placed, but it was not good. I was promised it would get better. The treatment actually went well Mike and I played Canasta, I won! Yah me! I met 3 women today. One that was very young not sure what treatment she was receiving but so sweet. The center has wigs you can have and she had a Ragual Welch box among them so I told her that was one of my favorites. It's the one she choose. The second lady was very quite, come to find out she is 4 months

ahead of me, going through the same regiment. All she could say is good luck it's awful! She was 2 weeks out from her double mastectomy. The third lady was so up beat, come to find out she loves her port "it's my best friend!" she said. She had the same kind of breast cancer as I do 11 years ago. She now has stage 4 brain cancer. Her attitude was amazing! below is a picture of my chemo room

My daughter Angie was going to shave her hair with me at my Blessing Way (Emmy too) to show support for me. But she was asked, just a few days before it to join one of the busiest midwifery practices in Utah county, so she couldn't. But my brother Brett shaved his head the day after to show solidarity for me.

After my Blessing Way the party continued at the wig shop. It was fun trying on all the different wigs. Pam was awesome she just kept on putting wigs on me until we found the three I liked the most. Mom, MaryAnn & Mike, Missy, Angie, Emmy and of course my Mike all gave input. The two Mike's put thumbs DOWN on the red one. (the first picture in the scrap book below) This was one of the most dynamic things I have every experienced. Thanks to all the women in my healing circle. Your blessings were as unique as each one of you are. I hold each one of you in the high esteem. (This includes the 12 women here and the 6 long distance women.) I want to thank mom for preparing the food. I know where I get my intuition as a cook. The food was awesome! Elizabeth, Thank you for the chocolate covered strawberries! They where so yummy! My little Emmy must have eaten 4 or 5 alone! I so enjoyed them. Mom's comment was, "Elizabeth always does things with class." More to come later.
