Chemo Journal Day 17
September 28-Day 17
Mel asked me tonight if I would mind wearing a hair net to bed…yes, it’s that bad.
I’ve had another great day filled with packing lunches, school pick-up, dance, church and homework. I’ve felt very normal and very energetic. McCanless and Mary Clare are doing great and even love joking with Dad about Mommy’s ever changing hair-do. As my part grows wider and my hair gets thinner, I’m realizing that it’s inevitable. The end is in sight. It does, however, help that the loose hairs are driving me nuts. I think I’ll be ready to shave it all off very, very soon just to get rid of all of this hair! It’s everywhere!
The girls team (plus Daddy) is taking a day trip on Friday to our favorite city, our beloved Charleston. MC has a neurology and cardiology visit at MUSC, then I’m sure we’ll find something fun to do. I’m looking forward to a fun weekend before Treatment 2 on Monday.

No one said it would be easy to lose your hair.
But I know you’ll find a way to turn this situation around and use it as a badge of honor,
a sign to the world that your treatments are working.
And when this is all behind you
and your hair grows back,
you’ll be able to say with assurance,
that every day is a good hair day.”
Big Hugs to you!

Oh Kerri! I know I’ve been kind of joking with you about shaving your head, but I can imagine that it is very hard losing your hair. You know, I’ve noticed one thing about the bald women I’ve seen lately. They all look beautiful, strong, and confident. They may feel the exact opposite but that’s the impression they make on me. You will be beautiful and one more step towards finishing this journey!

Kerri – Kate, Amy, Julia and myself are ‘Walking for The Cure’ Saturday morning in Columbia – You’ll be in our thoughts the entire 3 miles!

Yay!! I’ll be cheering for you!!! Kate says she’s running the entire 3 miles and she’s gonna smoke you girls! (and wearing arm weights)
I’d hide her running shoes if I were you. Have fun!!

Have a great time in Charleston-I know Clare’s report will be great. Don’t forget the CUPCAKE shop!
I love you, MOM
