Little Scared

So, I just got a letter in the mail notifying me of an appointment with my oncologist.  So, that means that the test results are back and I'll get my chemo plan.  I'm a little apprehensive.  It's been so nice to feel okay and be able to work and do the things I'm accustomed to doing (except cleaning of course!).  This is just a whole big bucket of unknown and y'all know how much I hate that!

I really have felt good.  I don't really have any fatigue (or at least very slight) and my scalp doesn't hurt anymore.  I'm losing a little more hair, but when it's this short, it doesn't fall out, so it's only when I "run my fingers through my peach fuzz" that some comes out!  The main thing would be the food issue.  I have no desire to eat and anything I do is like paste.  I think a lot of what I feel is due to that.  But, I don't even want to take vitamins because all the pills make me nauseous.  Then the dreaded heartburn!

But other than that, I'm doing pretty good.  The girls are doing well and I'm so excited for David to start working so I can get them in some activities.  They want gymnastics and dance.  Lili LOVES dance and is always talking about it.  Unfortunately, David won't start working until about 3/1/12, which means he won't get paid until mid April!  February is our birthday month: David, Mama Nena & Lili, plus a couple of my good friends.  I would love to enjoy some awesome cupcakes, but I'm not holding my breath!
