Treatment Plan: Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro

Less than one minute read time.
Morning All, A hearty thank you for your well wishes and your prayers. Both are much appreciated. Meet with Dr. Chan, my oncologist, and was told I'd be having chemo, radiation, Hercepin and Tamoxifen. Am scheduling for a port too. As they say, one day at a time. I have a prescription for a wig. Might decide to go blond or red for that matter as I have always been a luxurious onyx/brunette. Just kidding, have to mix in humor from time to time. I take courage from you all who have gone through this process. I know if you can do it, so can I. Keep me in your prayers. I wish you well on your journey with cancer. I saw this on a cover of a magazine. It read' " You are tougher than you think!" I like it and will have to remind myself from time to time. God Bless! Luna

  • Best of luck with chemo. The time goes quickly so dont worry.

    I love my wig and have kept it for bad hair days.

    No more shampoo,conditioner and hairdressers bills for a little while.

    Lost all hair except on legs!!!!!!!!!!!! Typical.

    Hi Luna

    In some sort of strange way I sort of envy you. I start my chemo next Tuesday but hair loss is not one of the side effects. I was kind of looking forward to giving myself a bit of a makeover with a different colour and style. Thought my husband might find it exciting! Oh well, looks like I just have to put up with nausea, vomiting, mouth ulcers and numb fingers.................hey ho, life (chemo) is hard!

    Good luck
