Today my good friend came over with her Mom, sister and daughter to go thru all my wigs, scarves, hats, etc. We tried on a couple of my wigs and they looked so great on her...she is not a redhead but these wigs looked awesome on her! I also gave her all my scarves and hats....These last few weeks I kept looking at the wigs in the bathroom and wondering why I didn't just take them to the American Cancer Society to donate them....was it that I thought that maybe I would need them again?? Now I see that things do happen for a reason and I was so glad to give her all this stuff today. We all went up to the flea market to the wig shop...the ladies there treated her so great and she bought two brown wigs that also looked great. After that we all went out for ice cream...I am so sad that she has to go thru this but I am so glad that we are friends and that I will be able to help her...she is a real trooper!
My herceptin treatment went fine last week..I saw Dr. B. and he said that the insurance was asking for more info before they would cover the Zometa treatment for me so I guess we will just wait and see. The foob seems to still be the same size so I guess I was just imagining that it might be leaking...looks like we are still on for new ta-ta's in November...speaking of ta-ta's...we have over 20 people so far that have said that they will walk with us in the Komen walk in September...how exciting!!
Ok...so there usually isn't anything funny about oncology reports or tests but I read this tonight and just had to share it with you...this is from a real medical report on breast cancer survival...looks like I need to have a few more "spritzers!"
In contrast, the team found that prognosis improved with recent alcohol consumption, with light to moderate drinking reducing the risk of dying by 22 percent.
"The association between alcohol consumption and improved survival is surprising," Barnett commented. "The results of several other studies have not shown such an association."
Not much else to report...summer seems to be going so fast...Jillian will start cheerleading on Tuesday and Tyler starts football next week. Tyler had his physical yesterday and he is 5'6"!!! OMG..my baby is taller than me!! Jillian gets her 5 year shots in the morning...she doesn't know about this yet...she is going to FREAK OUT..it is not going to be a nice start to the week but it has to be done...it's been a good weekend...we have spent a lot of time up at the pool just hanging out with friends...I am thankful for our great friends and the good times we get to spend together...have a good week!

Jan, I love your new hairdo! Isn't it a beautiful thing to be able to go "uncovered" during these hot summer months? It is a blessing that you were able to share your assortment of "coverings" to someone that is just beginning her journey. You will never need them again!
I wrote a comment several days ago but I think I was on an older posting on your blog so if you see a message similar to this that is the reason. It is not because I forgot and am repeating myself. :)I still have so much to learn about this computer!
We are going thru a transition. We moved from the west coast of Fl. to the east coast. You would think as often as we have moved it would become easier but it doesn't seem so.
I check your blog often and pray for you and your family.
You have such a gift for writing! The Lord is using that gift now and I feel He is going to use it in an even greater way in the future.
Take care and God bless!
Dorothy
