Good Morning. I am going to do a quick post this morning...with probably "more to come" later on. :) I got yesterday (Labor Day) off of radiation--what a nice break! It was a busy day in spite of that. We had lots of visitors and some nice surprises. The saddest thing about the day was when Emily, my daughter, had to leave. I wish I could keep all my kids right around me--however, that sounds great in theory. We would all probably get to the point where that is not quite as "wonderful" as it sounds. I loved having Em here, and hopefully will see her again fairly soon. I am loving having my sister, Laura, here. She is lots of fun and very helpful. She has also decided that every day she is going to do my hair. We never know when it's going to fall out so she's going to take advantage of every opportunity. I looked way "bouffant" (Don't think that's how you spell it)yesterday. She is also helping me to get things organized on my computer. She's great! Well, it's back to radiation and the normal routine. I'll write more--we are trying to figure out how to post pictures, so we can make this blog a little more interesting. Love to all, Louise

  1. Dear Louise,
    I have been following your blog ever since Melanie notified me. I think of you often. I am so impressed that you are journaling this journey. I wish I had done this when I had breast cancer two years ago. I was still working as a principal of a large junior high school through most of it and was barely keeping my head above water. I was so tired . . . Now, it is all a blur.
    I know what you mean about having your daughters near by. They are such a source of comfort and support. I would be lost without mine.
    Sure love you . . . You are in my prayers.

  2. Hey Louise. I would love to see pics of Laura's hairstyling abilities! Totally get the sadness of Emily leaving. I am heartbroken every time Chloe gets on a plane. Big hug to you and Laura. Love, Sue

  6. Sounds like a great long weekend full of girl bonding! I'm so glad both Emily and Laura could visit, especially at the same time. I'm thinking I should come visit you in the next few months, maybe I can coordinate with Em! Love you SO SO much!!
