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.
Carolyn

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.

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.
