Hello all - Happy Friday! First, we apologize for the long delay. The last few weeks have been busy as we moved into our new place. Additionally, we just got internet hooked up this afternoon. We will do a better job of keeping this updated in the future. Things here are going pretty well. Jodi had her third chemo treatment, and once again is doing very well. I think the oncologist has figured out the perfect "cocktail" of medications to keep Jodi's body regulated. Although she is exhausted, she has managed to avoid almost all the other side effects associated with chemo! Based on her experience the last time through, I would expect her to be exhausted on and off until Tuesday. After that she should feel like her normal self for another 10 days until her fourth treatment. She only has one more AC treatment, which is supposed to be the worst part of the chemo program, so hopefully her body continues to handle the chemo as well as it has so far.
The other big news is that Jodi is now bald and beautiful. She got her hair buzzed two weeks ago and got her new wig. The funny thing is, I think she actually likes it better:) She said she felt empowered having it shaved before it all fell out and she actually has a very nice looking bald head! She also is raving about the time it takes to get ready in the morning now that there is no hair to wash or fix. She puts on some make-up and pops on her hair. What might be a traumatic experience for some seems to be just another thing Jodi has made into a positive.
We're going to spend the weekend finishing settling into the new place and hopefully next week we can post some photo's.
Love you all.
