Hair

There's really nothing much to tell. I have been asked a few times, "Now what?" One person asked me how I'd know if all of the treatments worked. Essentially, I'll know when I'm sitting around old and cancer-free. That's when I'll be able to say, I guess it worked. That's the only answer I have for that. As for "Now what?" I am back to having little to tell on the health front. With health, no news is good news.

The next real update will be after my MRI next month. It's got a high likelihood of false alarms so I will most likely wait until everything is fully resolved before posting about that.

Let's see um...got my hair cut yesterday. My hair looks and feels pretty weird. I got it thinned and shaped but am still going to grow it longer. It's weird to have new hair at 42 but I have it. It's not good or bad but I feel in photos this will always be my post-cancer hair and that kind of bugs me. It's good to find things with cancer annoying rather than truly terrifying so this is fine.

I have my Avon funds raised to meet the goal. I have to send in some checks. I'm still doing fund-raising though as it's a good cause obviously but also because my friend Gayle hasn't met her goal yet. Like me, she's finding it hard to juggle children, work and now this big endeavor. She'll get there. Her mother is doing very well by the way.

I'm good. I'm feeling great. Thanks for the inquiries.

MRI Covered

As you can tell by the title, the MRI will be covered. I guess if the doctor takes the time to write a note, then it's okay. Whatever. I'm one of the lucky ones with health insurance.

On another note, I'm nearly to my goal for the Avon Walk. I am holding onto some checks in case others I know doing the walk might need them to help them hit their goals. If anyone wishes to donate, checks are great and can be made out to Avon Walk for Breast Cancer or to me and then I'll write a check straight to the organization.

I'm feeling good. It's good when there's little to report on the health front. It once was so complicated. I hope it stays this way.

Thanks to everyone for kind words, concerns and support in general.
