I went to the hospital on the 15th of this month because of back pain. It turns out that my pain was caused my a mass in my right lung that was pressing against my spinal column. It is a Small Cell Cancer and has an 80% success rate with Chemo. I started treatments Sunday and was released from the hospital today. The rest of the treatments will be done on an outpatient basis.
I'm doing pretty well. Probably better than Billy. He has been really worried and scared. I think trying to comfort him kept me from falling apart. And he has been right there for me all week. Even at 2 am when I called him in the middle of a panic attack. He was at the hospital so fast, I half expected him to carry the phone in with him. He sat with me until I settled down and went to sleep.
Wonder how I am going to look in a turban? They say I will lose my hair. And here is the really wierd part of that. The nurses say that when it grows back, it may well be a completely different color and texture than what it is now. So, who knows what I am going to look like next?
I will walk through this. Safely. And in Health and Peace.
Namaste

Quick! Pour some icewater on me! When one of those babies flare up, losing my hair sounds like a goooooood thing!
