One More Day

Tomorrow is the last day of radiation. Also, I am pretty sure the wound surgeon will release me tomorrow after our visit to him in the afternoon. I am hoping that means I can take a real full shower after tomorrow, as I should not have anything left that cannot get totally wet! I have been taking half sponge baths/half showers for weeks. In fact, I can't even remember the last time I got into the shower without having to cover something with plastic wrap or manipulate the shower head so it did not get certain areas wet.

My hair is starting to come back a little, with most of it being brown (only a little grey). It is too early to tell if it will be straight or curly. I am trying to not get to "taken" by my hair since I know there will be more chemo (about 99.9% sure) and it will fall out again. I am not sure how soon after surgery I will have chemo, so it could have a chance to grow a little longer. My eyebrows are still growing like crazy. If the hair on my head grew as fast, I would have a full head by now.

Friday is the big day. More scans (MRI on tumor, CT on chest) and then I meet with surgeon to find out the game plan. I am a little nervous about the scans --scared they are going to reveal something we did not see before. I don't think it is likely, but I am not taking anything for granted.

The week should go by fast so that is good. I have lots of work to do; Wimbledon is on- yea; Jill
is coming today till Thursday; Syd and Zola are coming Thursday (and bringing food Syd is cooking for us!) and old boss and friend Hank is coming by for a visit Saturday morning. So it will be a busy week.
