Family Hair Cutting Experiment

In 2015 I lost my hair doing Taxol and Avastin for 21 weeks and it was way more emotional than I expected. Now my kids are much older and I recruited them to help cut my hair so we could have more laughs than tears. I have to say at one point I laughed so hard it brought me to tears! You’ll know which haircut caused this as you view the process!

A humbled thank you

Tomorrow I will have  my 4th radiation on this newest metastatic cancer tumor by my tailbone. I only have to have five, so I will be finished next Tuesday. The biggest side effect from the radiation is extra fatigue. I have had pretty extreme fatigue and physical weakness from the chemo, Taxol, and Avastin. Nausea has been a problem as well, but this is my off week from those meds and I am feeling quite a bit better. I was hoping I’d have a pep in my step, but that hasn’t happened yet! 

However, I have been so encouraged  - and very humbled - by the almost 2 dozen people who have given to our family financially to help provide some help at home, help with medical deductibles and copays, plus has expenses and prescriptions.  Please know that Billy and I do not take your generosity lightly. This is a true encouragement and blessing and we pray you are paid back tenfold.  God bless you. StY safe and well during these unprecedented pandemic times.
