Bless you all who have survived cancer; I'm going to wear the yellow livestrong bracelet for sure. I never reallized how devastating cancer is until it has struck my beloved father and my cute husband.
My husband was really helped by the NIH doctor up there in Virginia. SHE, yes she, called him on a Sunday to confirm his diagnosis.
:blowkiss:
Marthatex, I thought you were in TX. Funny that you reiterated that the doctor was female. The head of the pediatric oncology/hematology study that I was in was headed by a female doctor, Dr. Nancy McWilliams. I remember thinking at the time what a mean old lady she was. LOL. Not much bedside manner especially with children.
Idaho4groenes, I'm sorry about your mother. I can't imagine how hard it is losing your mom.
Beckylynn, my sister had breast cancer and it was sweet and sad at the same time but her husband helped her shave her head. She wore floppy hats too. She bought a wig but she hated wearing them because they were so hot. I have a friend battling liver cancer right now and she bought two or three wigs in different colors and is enjoying being able to be a red head one day and a brunette the next. Wigs have come a long way. Some you can't even tell.
