My physician worked her magic this morning and got us an appointment with Dr. Niedringhaus at the Cancer Center in Ashland for today! We met and got to know him, went over my file, treatment, and all the other fun stuff. He is a very cool doc! We 'clicked' with him immediately and he gave us a tremendous amount of hope and encouragement. He is on board with us and said "we need to get this knocked out of you" so he scheduled me to get my first treatment TOMORROW!
I started poking around today at the thought of buying a wig..it's been fun to see all of the different styles etc... going to wait and see what kind of wife Jason would like for these next few months (hee hee). My dear friend Sarah is hooking me up with some cool scarfs that she will be making me...sewing is 'therapy' for her so we are getting a 'two for one' deal with that! My hair will be due to be gone two and a half weeks from tomorrow so watch out...the Lawver's are all going to have bald heads!
I'm all about the therapy!!! Ceglers can go "bald" too. Maybe we should have a "theme" summer party??? lol
ReplyDeletelots a luv
Seems like everything is falling into place for your treatments. I am glad to see Doctors collaborating for the best benefit of their patient, especially when that pt. is you. You are giving others hope and strength to get through whatever they are going through by watching you take this head on, including me. Not every day will be easy, but we'll thank GOD for that day too. We are always here for anything you need. Take Care and Good luck tomorrow!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, two weeks? You need to watch those episodes of Sex and the City where Samantha shaves her head, and Smith does it too. Then, maybe pick out an awesome hot pink wig just for kicks! I'd be all about experimenting.
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness, I am so happy that you have found doctors you like and have a plan in place. The sooner the better.
Good luck!

Hope your infusions goes great today, you have no side affects and I am happy things are happening fast so you can kick this thing in the butt! Praying for you! Gwen
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you are getting started right away and can do it in Ashland! I will definitely be thinking about you and praying for you.
ReplyDeleteI say get a few wigs . . . you could be someone different all the time! Or scarves, scarves are good. You will look beautiful no matter what!
Miranda - you are beautiful anyway you are. Stay strong and good luck!

You may find out that if you go brunette or red, that blondes don't necessarily have more fun!! Have a good afternoon/night, we will be thinking about ya. Love Tracey and family
