Update

Heather has completed 2 chemo treatments and this Thursday she'll do her 3rd. She has tolerated it fairly well with only mild side effects...as long as she takes her medicine.  The first time she took her anti-nausea medicine consistently for the first 3 days and didn't get nauseous.  The second time she thought that she didn't need to take it because she wasn't nauseous before, she learned her lesson though...always take her meds! :)  Now she's feeling a lot better.  She hasn't started to lose her hair yet, but she did go and pick out a really cute wig.  It looks super good on her!  I tried it on today and I loved it too. Her spirits are up and she seems to be adjusting to the chemo schedule.  She met a single mom last week that was diagnosed with breast cancer 10 years ago and she's still living a good life today.  I think she helped Heather realize that she can get her cancer under control and live the life she wants to live.  I'm proud of her for being so strong and having a positive attitude!  P.S. We go back to MD Anderson in April.
