Being bald is annoying. At least, being bald due to cancer is annoying. First, there are the obvious issues with always needing to wear a hat, scarf, or wig. Sure, I’m having as much fun with this as I can – it’s like playing dress-up – but logistically, it’s annoying. Especially given that I live… Continue reading Stubble
I’m often asked how the kids are taking all this. I first broke the news to them a couple of months ago. Since then they seem to have been dealing with it pretty well; and by that I mean, life goes on as normally as possible. I’m walking around the house completely bald – I… Continue reading Bald Mom
Time for a fashion blog posting. This was one of the first hats I bought on my Etsy shopping spree. It’s slouchy and layered and fun. The photos don’t really do it justice; next time I wear it I’ll get some better shots of it. I wore this outfit to school drop-off one day last… Continue reading Boho Hat
When I found out I’d need chemo and would lose my hair, I started poking around on Pinterest and other sites to get ideas for hats and wigs and other ways to fun it up a bit. In the back of my mind I recalled that one of the characters on that show from 10… Continue reading I Love You Samantha Jones
Well “wrap-up” might be premature, but it feels that way already! Overall I’ve been less fatigued this time around. Still had some pretty darn good naps around Days 3 & 4, but not to the extent of the first time. Now as I enter Week 2 of Cycle 2, I’m already feeling pretty normal –… Continue reading Round Two Wrap-Up
There is an internet phenomenon that most of you, dear readers, are probably not aware of: that is, the fashion blog. This is really a thing, right up there along with shopping haul videos. I discovered them a few years ago when I was looking for a ideas for a particular outfit I needed to… Continue reading The Bald And The Beautiful
I have waited to post this until I had an outcome; spoiler alert: This story has a happy ending. You may recall that in July I had a full body scan. This was done because one of my lymph nodes came back positive from the Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy. Shortly after those tests were done,… Continue reading Scare Averted
Here’s my promised update on how I’m doing a few days after my second round of chemo. I know I have a few new followers, so as a quick recap: I have 6 rounds of chemo planned, every three weeks, on Tuesdays. Before every session they check my blood counts, and if they all look… Continue reading Chemo Round 2, So Far
I realize that I am posting this on the day after my 2nd round of chemo. I wrote most of the below blog post during my infusion yesterday, and it’s a big topic so I wanted to get it posted. But since I’m sure you’re all wondering how I’m doing I’ll plan to have a… Continue reading Introducing Yolanda
And I’m off, to chemo infusion cycle #2: Today’s outfit is, as it says on the packing list, comfy long sweats (with cuffed ankles that I can pull up into capris when I’m outside), a short-sleeved tshirt with a v-neck, to access the port, with a vest and a comfy hat. Once I got settled… Continue reading Chemo Packing List
