You poor kid. <br /><br />I'm relieved to know it hasn't spread to other organs etc. and H-2-New-positive sounds like a good thing. I'm also glad your doctor isn't messing around and is getting down to business. I hope these things bring you some comfort too as you head into what sounds like a not so fun day. Love you!!!

A great positive for you to be sure.<br /><br />And yes the chemo will be hard and it will make you tired. But if you can be that woman that gets out of bed each morning and your feet hit the floor the devil says, "Oh heck, she's up!" - well then I think you will have the right mind set.<br /><br />My husband is forever telling me that things will be easier if you just take your emotion out of it, and it is true. But for a woman, emotion is everything. And I am always replying to him that I am an emotional woman, that's the way God made me. And in reality that is really what he probably loves about me the most.<br /><br />I say get your mind set ahead keep focus on what is positive about the day. And have fun with it. Dreariness is a given with someone who has cancer, you know you are going to have bad days as far as how you feel. But my hope for you is that you allow yourself to look at the goodness that God can bring you.<br /><br />And if it comes to your hair falling out, tell everybody you want them to cut theirs. It would be quite the distraction, don't you think? :D<br />God Bless You Heather!Trezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06639577727486577188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591434792413977641.post-46156144327528716312010-10-26T22:33:24.345-05:002010-10-26T22:33:24.345-05:00Heather, I am so happy about the good news that it...Heather, I am so happy about the good news that it hasn't spread.

Michelle Arnburg is finishing her chemo in 8 days. She also has a port in her chest and no one can tell. She also had the cycles and owns an array of hats! Keep your head held high! You are a strong girl and can fight this! Just take one day at a time and soon it will be a distant memory! We are thinking about you and praying for you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02150833720943520908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591434792413977641.post-2746440296930165692010-10-26T21:49:11.009-05:002010-10-26T21:49:11.009-05:00Heather - so glad the cancer wasn't in any oth...Heather - so glad the cancer wasn't in any other organs. Hang in there with the chemo! I remember my Mom losing her hair and that she was very very tired. She also took various pills afterwards like you mentioned. BUT, she is now taking absolutely NOTHING, meets with an oncologist once a year, and feels better than ever.

I know that this has been a very traumatic week and that chemo will be a difficult road. Please let me know if there is anything you need (materially, emotionally, financially, insert relevant adverbs). I found on the American Cancer Society website that they have a "Patient Navigator Program" - so somebody who might be able to help you and Ian get more resources in line in addition to your medical care. The number is 1-800-227-2345. I love you, Iowa Allens!PiperBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453127042265460868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591434792413977641.post-55230524403794171342010-10-26T20:54:33.661-05:002010-10-26T20:54:33.661-05:00*loves you**loves you*Christina Mattahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13539597632683000335noreply@blogger.com
