(2,312 posts)I still recall, when my ex-husband cut off his beard. Our daughters were little, and one of them was afraid of him LOL.
I bought a wig, and I sew..I'm making some head covers and trying to find one or two go-tos that I can use around the house. I have a brand-new sewing machine, and it's always great when I have a project to work on -- right now, this is it. I have a feeling I'm not going to love being bald, so I want to be prepared.
I feel pretty good day after! I go back today for the "immunity" shot, and I was warned I might experience some back pain after that. Heating pad recommended. I was told I can take a codone after that. Well, if you insist!
I'm also taking a very expensive anti-nausea med. I told my nurse that I dreaded that more than anything, so we jumped on the Emend. So far, so good.
Radiation does not seem to be in my plan as things look right now. I go back to my surgeon on Thursday, for the results of my sentinel node biopsy. Hoping that comes out clean (or whatever qualifies as good).
Hoping to be able to cook a nice dinner tonight -- Hubby is going to the market for me. He's also on litter-box duty for the duration...work with me here, Missy.
