New tshirt color

I will be placing the final order soon. One more order of white shirts and blackshirts with the image reversed out as pictured on the right. Please place your orders online, www.shellylbrown.com/order.html before Friday, June 11, 2010.

Hmmm, can't decide which one I like better. Better get one of each.

Two down, four to go

The last chemo treatment was pretty rough. The chemo builds up in your system making each treatment harder. I was down five days this time. I tried to come back to work on Tuesday but didn't make it past 10:30 a.m. The hardest part was missing out on the kids' activities. I felt like I didn't see them for five days. The weather was so nice they were outside playing a lot and I was in the fetal position on the couch or in the bed. Nuff complaining :) Back at work today and anticipating a good two and a half weeks before the next treatment.

Thank you for buying our lunch

Eating out with four children is expensive so we don't get to do it often. However, we decided to stop at Pizza Hut yesterday after church before heading to the baseball fields. When I went to pay, the cashier told me someone had already paid for lunch. Thank you someone! That was truly a blessing.

Haircut

My hair was starting to fall out so had it cut and donated to Locks of Love. I still have some hair but it's very short and will probably all fall out by the end of the week. The last picture was taken afterward while wearing my wig.

First Chemo Treatment behind me

No surprises. Feeling a little yucky. I'm attaching a pic of the "red devil" that cancer patients dread receiving. I received three different types of chemo yesterday, this one was the third. Suppose to make you really sick, especially on day three, tomorrow. Praying I'll be one of the lucky ones.

PET scan came back clean

Praise the Lord!

Ugh...more tests

I guess I shouldn't complain. My dear friend Brooke has multiple tests most days.

Dr. Leo said there are a few spots on my liver they want to check out to make sure they are not cancerous. He said 20% of people have these little lesions on their liver and the other test (no idea what is was called) came back normal so most likely it is not cancer. However, he wants to make sure. So I have a PETscan scheduled for Monday. Results should be back by Wednesday in time for my first chemo treatment on Thursday. He will call me with results on Wednesday, my chemo treatment will start at 10 a.m. and will take approximately 5 hours. My fellow cancer warrior, Christy, will be going with me the first time to show me the ropes...so to speak.

He also said my heart was very strong so he is going to change the chemo drug to something stronger. My treatment plan now consists of 6 treatments every three weeks. He wouldn't give me a straight answer when I asked if it was going to make me sicker so I'm filling prescriptions for nausea medicine now and preparing for the worst.

My mom is hosting a hat and turban party for me on Sunday from 2-4 pm. I'm looking forward to making a fashion statement this summer! Won't everyone be jealous of me at the ballpark this summer when its 98 degrees and they are sweating under all the long, thick hair? :)
