support group

Mom and her hubby went to a support group last night. They wore shirts that the hospital gave them. Mom's said, "Survivor" and his said, "Caretaker". Pretty cool that they wore them. Anyway, when she left, she was kind of nervous, however, when she came back, she was better. I think only because it was over. When I asked her what it was like, she said that all that they had time for was everyone to go around the room and introduce themselves and tell what kind of cancer they had. So, she really didn't get much out of it as far as she can tell. I'm glad she went anyway though.

Mom got her first herceptin (or however you spell it) injection today. Now she feels like crap. AND the doctor only gave her 1/3 the dose of normal. This is going to be a LONG year... It's also made her feel pretty down. She's not admitting it, but she's not her usual self today.

Mom's hair is about 1/4 of an inch long now. I hope the itching has subsided since last week.
Her hair is still hard to see because it's such a light color, but It's coming in finally! I think it will be quite a while before she really has to use a comb! lol
