We weren't sure how Heather would be feeling after the surgery and we almost cancelled the shearing party we had planned for Saturday. Fortunately the good news was plentiful; she felt pretty darn good, only had one drain, and she started shedding on her own! So just in the nick of time we had the shearing party on Saturday and it was a blast!
Heather started off by taking the first cut with scissors. We then let each of our little ones take a whack and then several other kids at the party did the same. Next came the clippers. We shaved one side of her head and she looked very, well, European punk maybe? Next the other side came off so she was sporting a mowhawk. It was awesome! Then the rest was taken off and by Jove she looked absolutely beautiful. I mean fantastically gorgeous! (Still does)
The plastic surgeon who removed the implant and the oncologist came to an agreement of sorts and today we had a chemo appointment established. Since Heather's blood work was stellar the oncologist proceeded with the chemo! I know it sounds weird to be excited about it but we want the chemo to get in there and do what it is supposed to do as soon as possible and any delays are frustrating.
2 down and 6 to go. Thanks for all of the love and support. Really...it means an awful lot to us. XXXXOOOO
