Today we took Sarah for her 3rd outpatient treatment, she was pretty crabby when we started out, (sorry Sarah) but her mood soon improved. Dr. M said she did not need to get the Ara-C chemo next week, only Methotrexate, which is great news, since the Ara-C is the one that gave her the itchy eyes, fever, and made her lose her hair!! So, next weeks hospital stay should be much better than the last one, barring any surprises! Sarah got "blinged" today during her treatment, the Operation Bling Foundation provides a piece of costume jewelry to patients undergoing treatment for Cancer, she chose a really pretty ring. I did Sarah's nails with her new Sally Hanson Instant Manicure, it is peel and stick nail polish that you press on and shape with a nail file, very cool! When her treatment was done, we met with our social worker friend, M, and S, the "wig" lady, Sarah was able to choose a wig supplied by the American Cancer Society, along with a hat and a head wrap. Good news and lots of goodies, it was great to see Sarah Smile!!!!! By 1pm we were on our way to lunch, Cheesecake Factory of course, then errands and home.
Sarah had another surprise waiting for her at home, a large envelope filled with notes and get well wishes from her sorority sisters, a perfect ending to the day. Happy weekend everyone.
