Hey folks
Just updating again!
1- there's been a change in the plan of attack. I had a PET scan done before my first chemo, and it turns out there are a few hot spots in some more remote lymph nodes. Other organs were ruled definitely clear, though. However, this means I'll be getting 6 rounds and chemo and no surgery, rather than chemo/surgery/chemo. After the last chemo round, we review. I'll confess I'm relieved the surgery is off the table for now. It's a major operation, and having 65% of my stomach removed wasn't exactly ringing my bells. This is not good or bad news, really... just different news.
2- At the same time, my oncologist has given me a quick once over, and she can tell already that the chemo is working. The tumor is much smaller, and some swollen lymph nodes have gone down a lot. My side effects are minimal, too. I'm apparently strong as a damn ox.
3- I guess a lot of you saw DH's & my new "look". Hahaha. I feel like my head is about 3 inches around, but then again, it's nice to not to have to worry about it. Plus, it's about 300 degrees here every day now; I'm a hell of a lot cooler than everyone else!
SO, that's it for now. I'm about to eat lunch and watch some Wendy Williams (maybe get some wig tips). Hasta!

I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
When you go wig shopping I demand you take lots of pictures, and purposefully try on some that are ridiculously awful.
Huzzah for working chemo without major side effects! Your bald head really is beautiful. Most people have all kinds of bumps and moles and tan lines.
I just a friendly gal looking for options.
And yes, your bald head rocks. Only you could look that hawt with no hair at all.

You never answered my questions about funny birthmarks on WonderHusband's head. Does he have any?
Wonderw1fe! So good to hear from you. Glad to hear the chemo is already kicking in and you've managed to dodge the knife. Thank you for keeping us posted.

<div>Are you seriously badgering her about not answering a lameass question? TT, she probably didn't find it interesting enough to answer the first time you asked. And again, she's left you hanging. Let this be one of life's unsolved mysteries, mkay?</div>
