I had my first treatment yesterday. Overall, I am doing pretty well I think. The research nurse failed to call in my nausea medication and steroids that I was suppose to take the day before treatment. I had to take it through the iv and the doc then gave me a prescription. Needless to say last night I had a rougher night than I may have. I didn't get to sleep until after midnight and slept about 3 hours. The doctor was visibly pissed off at her nurse. She handled it well, but you could tell. When she did get a hold of the nurse, she was at home sleeping, she was sick.
Sharon is wonderful. She made banana bread for me. Of course, i had about 8 frozen bananas in the freezer. I have this tendency to put them in the freezer when they are too ripe.
We are going this weekend to buy some scarves and or hats for the hair loss. It should be gone before the next treatment in three weeks. I am getting it cut really short this weekend. I have read it helps me and the people I am around to adjust. Sharon says she will draw my eyebrows on every morning. I told her if I am in a mood, to give it an arch or some funny shape. She didn't think that was funny.
I am going to make it an early night, I am pooped. I will write more later and we'll post pictures this weekend.

Hi. I am so sorry the nurse forgot to call the nausea meds in. My friend Emily said that it is very helpful to take it the day before. Call me after you buy scarves and I will have Dodie take me to where she buys hers. She has worn some really interesting ones recently. How do you feel about animal prints? Call me when you feel up to it, because I have lost your phone number and mailing address. I didn't want to admit that, because it is so typically me! I love you both! Toni
