The second dose of chemo is in the books and Andrea is doing great! It was bit of a hard week as hair started falling out at an unbelievably rapid pace. There were a few tears but Andrea is a real trooper, and with her new military-style hairdo, she is beginning to look like it. She really is a strong woman and I have a hard time putting into words how impressive her attitude has been as she has approached this whole experience with cancer. She's a superwoman.
I feel like we are at a point in the treatment that not a lot changes from day to day. It's like driving toward a distant mountain, knowing with each minute that passes you are getting closer, but every time you look up all you see is a mountain in the distance. After talking with Andrea, we decided it would be okay to move to a new phase of our blog and instead of a weekly update, only post when we actually have something interesting to tell--no need for a weekly hair and make-up review. So for the next couple of weeks, Andrea will finish the final two treatments of her first round of chemo, and then I will post some new info about how the second round is going.
As always, thanks for the support, the prayers, and well wishes. We love you all!
