Feeling self conscious
One of the things I worried about when I started losing my hair was that my bald head would freak the kids out. They’re not used to seeing Aunt Mimi with no hair so I tried to be funny and show them my Snapchat filter pics of a bald me before it started falling out……

Chemo #3
Chemo #3: Feel like I’m getting the hang of this… probably just in time to switch medications! Lol this round gave me some extra nausea Friday evening… a call to the doc on call and swooping rescue pharmacy run from Kristen and I was good as new. I find that mostly I am just tired.…

Chemo Comfort Bag
Chemo day 1 is complete! I will post a longer run down later after my nap, but I wanted to share this sooner rather than later. For my first chemotherapy appointment today, I was given this beautiful chemo comfort bag! I was not expecting this at all and I was overwhelmed by the items inside!…
