The "chemo port" is officially in. The surgery went well. My parents got to the hospital at 6:15 A.M. Surgery started at 7:30 A.M. and they were home by 9:30 A.M. Doing well, feeling good. Her oxygen levels have been great today. So good in fact she hasn't had to use the oxygen tank at all today:) Getting stronger everyday. Another round of chemo starts on Wednesday. Hair is falling out. My mom has decided that she will definitely be a "wig" person. Doesn't think she can adapt to the hats and scarves. My boys and I are are trying to convince her to try a variety of wig colors--they want red, but grandma insists on staying blonde:) Now for wig shopping. Any suggestions?
I am so glad it went well. There use to be that wig store on main street but I think it went out of business. I don't know of any others, but of course there has to be some somewhere. Keep doing amazing!
ReplyDeleteI bought my wigs at bestwigoutlet.com....They had super fast shipping and great prices. I'm with ya on the wig thing...I tried to go bald with hats and scarves and bandanas but it just didn't feel right. I donated all my wigs to the ACS after I was finished. I did keep 2 "just in case" I bought the the "real hair" wigs. They made me feel more natural. If you need any help checking them out, let me know!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the surgery went well. The port will be your lifeline...and its so much better than getting poked all the time :)
