Thanks everyone! I don't have a lot of time since I'm writing papers on a deadline tonight, but I wanted to let you know that the treatment went well today. It took quite a while, but so far Mom hasn't had any side effects other than a mild headache. It's the "in between" times we have to really be concerned about, when her white blood cell count will be low and she'll be prone to infections and viruses. That'll be in about 10-14 days.
After her chemo today, Mom and I went to get her a wig and some other items she'll need during this process. Her wig is really gorgeous and she's going to look great! We also got a cute little turban and a pouch for her cords (after her mastectomy), some fluffy little breast cancer pink flip-flops and a pillow to put under her arm after the surgery to make her more comfortable. Oh, and some wig care supplies as well. I'm trying to talk her into going to a "Look Good...Feel Better" meeting where they teach cancer patients how to apply make-up in a way to cover-up a lot of the side effects of chemo. If she goes, they'll give her a huge case of specially designed cancer-patient make-up for free. I also think it would be really encouraging for her, but so far I haven't been able to convince her to make the appointment...  Maybe you guys could help me convince her though.  Again, thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers today.
