My Hair is Almost Gone!

Last night I cut my hair! Actually my husband did. I decided I wanted to be the one that decidedwhen and how I would loose my hair. So, I devided my hair in 4 bundles and made braids out of them (Snoop Dog style!). Hubby came after that and cut the 4 big braids off. After that we got the machine out and with clipper number 2, he chopped it off! I feel I have lost 3 pounds of hair in 5 minutes!!!
No crying, no thinking it twice, no regrets... Just do it! I feel much better.. A lot of white hair under all of it!!! WTF !!!!
Next chemo teraphy next Tuesday. Tony's graduation from Pre-K last night. And after that he helped cut my hair. Nomar's graduation will be on the 30th of this month. His dad is coming from Puerto Rico for some much needed quality tme!
I have a lot of extra time now, some times I get bored but am enjoying this ME time!

  1. I went for my second chemo theraphy today. All is well, just a little shaky with my hands. I have to do a CT scan on 6/8/10 to see if these tumors are shrinking or not, Lets see what happens.
    I have 5 more classes at school from this cluster to finish. Then summer comes.
    Tony will be going twice a week to school until Kindergrden starts in August. Will have to volunteer my time there occasinally. Me??? Going to a lot of garage sales...a lot of window shopping... Homework... TV... farming (facebook)...sewing... stitching... just beeing crafty. And hoping this cancer goes away so I can move one with my life. Tony graduated from pre-k and my other son Nomar graduates on Sunday. His dad came in from Puerto Rico last nite... hopefully some good quality time will be following.

  3. Wao I remember the day Nomar born. Life change so much since that. Lisa I feel so stupid,so impotent, I ask my self every day what would yo tellme if is was me on your place, and for the first time in 23 years I have no idea. I pray God every day,every minute for your recuperation but so many times I was mad with him because even when look selfish I ask.. why her? You know is terrifying just think losing you. You are a fighter. I always said I have no idea what was feel having a sister,, but what I know, is chosing one and love her so much and she love me too. Thanks God we don't wait until something like that hapen to demostrate how much we love each other. Is ok, fel frustrated, hopeless,, but don't give up, I want to be near you to take care of you help you and give some strength. Please Don't give up. Your fight is my fight.This cabron cancer... tu no te dejas joder de nada y nadie. You are so special. Don't let him change who you are... I love you with all my heart. Well I use my dictionary for a hour try to write this in English so stupid.lol

  4. Today was Nomar's graduation. I could hardly move. I made it to graduation in a wheelchair!!! But I was there. It was so weird being there and feeling like that. I am not use to feeling like this. I felt I was like 100 years old!!! I just ask God to help me through this sickness and to e able to come out the other end in one piece... strong... like before... Let's see...

  6. I guess I can't have it all! I received some good news from People's magazine last month. I have been nominated to be one of the finalist for the All Stars Among Us contest and hopefully represent the Cardinals at the All Stars game in California. There are 3 people nominated for the St. Louis area and I was one of them! I was invited to go to a pre game ceremony for all 3 of us and we all went. It was very nice, cool experience and now people will have to vote and decide who will be the winner. The winner will haev all expenses paid for 2 people to attend the All Stars game in California in July.
    So that was the exciting news... the bad news is that I have missed 3 classes from my cluster at Lindenwood and I had to withdraw from class, puting me behind a quarter in school. Tried to fight it but nothing.. Very upset and depressed with myself. With only 4 classes to go I will have to repeat the whole class again. No bueno!
    Besides this, I have a PET scan scheduled for Thursday to see if this chemo is working or not. Let's see what happens!
