Hi Everyone!

Well it’s been a week since my first chemo and so far no complications have come up. I didn’t know what to expect out of my first chemo, but it was not nearly as scary as I thought it would be. The chemo nurses are very sweet and kind. I’ve gotten so used to being poked that I’ve gotten used to needles…lol!! Don’t get me wrong, I do not enjoy them, but I think if you have cancer you have to learn to accept them.

Let see…the first three days after my chemo I spent most of my time sleeping on the couch. Chemo wipes out all your energy so badly that just getting dressed was difficult for me. Thanks to my wonderful boyfriend Jake and my mother who both took great care of me.

Finally on the 4th day I felt much better and was able to stay awake for 10 straight hours before falling asleep. I do apologize to the guests that came over to visit me because I fell asleep while talking to them :) Just blame it all on the chemo! I’m hoping that my chemo side effects will remain the same and not get worst.

I still have hair! Even though this morning I lost 10 pieces! Yes I counted them…. So probably by next week you will all get to see my fun wigs. Now remember you may see me with long hair one day and a short little bob the next. I might as well have fun with it!

Again thank you for  caring so much about me and for always thinking and praying for me and my family. I also would like to thank my wonderful friends Matt and Joleen for putting this website together for me, its help me out so much. Oh and thank you for all your funny jokes I really needed them!

Love, Michelle
