Fun times ahead

Dr. Peacock called yesterday to tell me that when I come in on Tuesday he is going to do a bone marrow biopsy to see if any of the cancer has gone into my bones. He then proceeded to describe how he will be trying to prevent any pain but my only thought was, "oh my god...you're going to stick a huge needle into my hip." Its okay though, with any luck they will have me half asleep before they do it and I won't even notice. Lets hope for that.

I've been thinking about donating my hair to Locks of Love. If I have a chemo treatment that makes me lose my hair anyway, why not give it away to someone who can use it before that happens? But then again, I might not have one of the treatments that makes that happen...but do I really want to deal with hair that is down to my butt when I'm going through this? I'm not sure what to do. I like having my hair long...so the idea of cutting it all off is kind of sad to me. But the fact that I might lose it anyway..but I really might not want to deal with long hair during chemo anyway. So if the doctor says it is a chemo where I won't lose my hair I'll have a decision to make. If he says that I will lose my hair, well I'll just get it cut off..but if not..I just don't know. I might just be best to have short hair for the next year.

I know its just hair...but it is still a hard choice.

Remember when you had to have your hair dyed black and it stayed like that a long time? You probably haven't had short hair in a very long time, tough decision.

Best wishes for Tuesday! Thinking of you! And yeah, I have an account here. Look how old my posts are, lol!
