A Reason to SMILE through all of this

[Sheila]

Life does get better , my hair is returning...still falling out, and gray but it is visible. Ahhhh the little things that make us smile and rejoice....nothing like having TipToe and Tex at treatment with me today...my nurse Tiff loved them! Taxol and Herceptin coming up on Tap

Sheila, you are so beautiful. Tiptoe and Tex are so cute. Be well.

Dear Sheila,
To have hair coming and going at the same time...you are SO talented!

When will you start spiking it and coloring it pink?

Sheila,

It is so great to hear from you and the added bonus is the picture. You look BEAUTIFUL. I guess I need to glam up a bit to go to chemo. I think your hair looks great too.

Thanks for posting and for the new pictures.

I loved the picture. Thanks so much for sharing. It makes you all "real" to me when I see updated pics from time to time. Like I know you and get to see you a long the way. You know what I mean? Oh well, I know what I mean.

Beautiful, beautiful!!! It made me smile to see you looking so beautiful.http://www.her2support.org/vbulletin/images/icons/icon7.gif

Hi Sheila

You look great in that picture - not at all like a skunk!!! In fact, I remember having that exact same hair style. I'm glad the kids were with you for your treatment. I hope they behaved themselves.

Shiela, I love the picture. I think we should all post more "every-day" type pictures so we can keep up to date on each other. I don't know exactly how to do it, but glad some of you know how. Aren't oncology nurses wonderful? They can't possibly pay them enough for all the love and caring and empathy they give to all of us. I had some blood tests and my port flushed today in the chemo room and thought again how wonderful these nurses are. I have never seen one cross or impatient no matter what. Thank you for sharing your picture---you look great! Hugs, Tricia

Sheila,

You look great! I'm jealous as you have more hair than I do. I'm enjoying the little hair I have until I start back up with the taxol/Carboplatin.

Sheila,
Complete your day, take Tip Toe out with you to buy a new pair of shoes!

Hugs,
Jean

Shelia, So it sounds like your hair is confused...doesn't know if its suppose to be coming or going? Hey...at least while its thinking about it I must say it covers your head rather well! It looks great. :)

Thats such a nice picture to share... it was also so sweet of you to let TipToe & Tex join in on all the fun. I'm sure they love getting out of the house and spending as much time with you as possible. I can see they are both smiling. I hope Tip & Tex didn't cause you any trouble while you were there. :)

As Billy Crystal used to say, "You Look Marvelous". Hang in there lady and know that we are all in this thing together.
I am off for my first job interview since my dx and moving to Color. A huge step back to a normal way of life.
Have a great weekend!

How in the world are you managing to keep it while on Taxol.

I just had my third treatment of Taxotere and keep waiting for mine to fall but not yet. I think since we split the Taxotere into thirds it will take a little longer to go, but I am sure it will.

Love the pic and you look great.

Oh good news (if even a small good news) but my blood pressure was 120/80 today which is great. I am still taking the bp meds while on the Avastin. Still fighting off a sinus thingy which has made me feel like crap and so tired. Hope to get over this soon.

You take care my friend.
