Here's a before and after shot of Sarah. Her hair started coming out in big clumps yesterday after our blueberry picking excursion and was getting pretty patchy by the end of today, so she had me cut it short with clippers. This is the fourth time that we've done this...
Sarah's taking it in stride, but you can't escape the fact that losing your hair is a very visible and constant reminder that you are in cancer treatment. Having said that, this is week 3 in the cycle and she's been feeling pretty good this week. Also, we learned last Thursday that her liver function is solidly back in the normal range. Doc said, "so now we can hit you with the full dose of Taxotere." Sarah's first thought was, "what? that wasn't a full dose last time!?" She was feeling crappy for almost two weeks straight after the last treatment. Well, the next treatment is on the coming Thursday... so we'll just have to wait and see how it affects her. We won't really know if the chemo is cleaning up the lymph and liver tumors until the PET scan next month.

I haven't checked the blog in a while. I'll say a prayer and hope for positive updates in the future.
