Last "Hair-rah"...

So, it's confirmed. I start 4 months of chemo next Tuesday. I'll watch Obama's inauguration from my chair in the infusion room as I silently chant, "Can I do it? Yes, I can." As for the details, I have triple negative, invasive ductal carcinoma. My oncotype test shows that it is aggressive with at least a 30% chance recurrence rate. Chemo is the course of treatment - every 2 weeks, followed by 6 weeks of radiation. I will lose my hair so I am having it cut off and my head shaved after my first round of chemo.

So, here's my photo from the round of parties from this past weekend...pre-party, a lovely birthday for Alejandro at the new Hotel Saint Cecilia followed by the pièce de résistance: the annual Jingle Ball. C & Z returned to Tunnel Trail for another fun-filled slumber party with Kat & DonDon - dancing to the 80's and running around in the rain shower. Thanks you guys for letting us have our last "Hair-rah" - at least for a while! Feeling fine in 2009...
