Ok guys little behind on my weekly update. Its been a crazy week with soccer games, Halloween parties, etc. Her hair is starting to make its exit. It was bothering her this week just because it has started to get to the point its hard to do anything with and she is having to clean up hair constantly. The actual loss of the hair she says isn't bothering her, she already has her wig and everything. She finally went yesterday evening and had it trimmed up real short, that may only last this week but she felt much better about it after she had it done. Got some hats, turbans, etc while we were at Cancer center Friday, so she is getting prepared for the inevitable.
Now for the good stuff, Friday was her 4th chemo treatment. She sees the doc after every 3rd treatment so before #4 started we had an appointment for him first. So we are waiting for him to come in and another doc that came down from her actual breast doctor's office so they are in the loop, she wanted to do a quick exam for their records, after feeling around she asks, "so where is this lump supposed to be?" We had never seen her previously, It has shrunk so much already in the first cycle (3 chemo treatments, just learned this) she couldn't find it. She walked out of the room kind of like, oook. Chemo doc comes in followed by the first gal, and starts his exam, the expression on his face was priceless when he was checking the spot where the very large lump was located, the he asks, "what did you do forget and leave it at home?" LOL He was thrilled with the progress so far as we are obviously. He said this is the best possible result that we could have hoped for (prayed for). The treatment itself went fine and we have had an insanely busy, but otherwise great weekend.
We meet the reconstructive surgeon on Tuesday, that one has her freaked out a bit. So thank you guys for all of the prayers, its is obvious they are working by the report above. I just ask for some peace of mind for this week as we meet this doc.
