WIGS, SCARVES, & HATS

These are the wigs I tried on. I ended up buying option 3

Option 1

Option 2

Option 3 - The Winner

These wigs were sent to be by my sister in law, Lisa.  I didn't care for the first two on me, but I like the last one.




HATS





 SCARVES
Me and Abby at her Highland graduation

 

The hotter it gets outside the more I tend to go with scarves and not hats. The white scarf on the left has embossed flowers on it that are hard to see well in this picture. I just looped a green headband through the knot and added a big flower to make it look special.   I picked up this flower before I even started to loose my hair. It's just a simple silk flower plucked off the stem and hot glued to a clip. I have more and now I'm looking forward to making them too!

This scarf in the middle was a gift from Mom for my birthday. The purple / pink stripe is a nice splach of color and the crunched fabric made it easy to tie and keep long. The first day I wore it to work I received another special gift. My friend Bharti sent me jewlery from her recent trip home to India. It matched perfect so I put it on right away!

    Definitely option 3 - looks most natural, although #1 is sassy and fun!

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. There is a BIG difference in price. Option 1 is $50, 2 is $130, and 3 is $300. I called the insurance company yesterday and they said they would buy one. If that's the case, Option 3 is looking even better!

    My sister in law (Lisa) is sending me her wigs too and she has dark brown / black hair! How fun will that be!? I'll post pics when they get here.

CHEMO #2 IS HISTORY...AND SO IS MY HAIR 2/26/12 Is it the drugs or the emotional journey that is making me feel so unbalanced?  I'm teetering on the edges of consciousness and sleep, sober and drunk, together and in pieces.  I'm ready for this weekend to be over so I might capture some of the normalcy again.  But I have to wonder how long I can keep coming back to normal before normal isn't there anymore.  My life just isn't the same anymore. Thursday morning was my second chemo treatment.  The doctor said I was doing really well and that my blood counts were good.  That's the most important thing.  I need to remember that. After chemo Nikki took me to JoAnn's to buy fabric for scarves.  Even though my hair had shown very little signs of falling out, the doctor said it would pick up speed fast and I needed to be prepared for my business trip this week.   Mom met us at home and we tried some of them on. I pulled one off and we all saw it at the same time,

OLD AMY, MEET NEW AMY... It's all starting to blur together now.  I don't remember one radiation treatment from the other.  I'm stuck in the movie Groundhog Day! Park in the same spot and walk in quickly (because I'm usually running late) Smile at the clerk who waves me on to the dressing room Put on a smock and hide my keys under my clothes - don't even bother to hang them on the hook Follow the tech to the machine Line my butt up with the top of the pad Take my arm out of my smock and put it above my head Focus on the ceiling pictures while she draws lines on my chest and boob Count to 30 while the machine buzzes, then moves to the other side and count to 30 again Wait for her to come back in, get up and follow her back to the dressing room Put on my shirt and pitch my smock in the laundry Turn off the lights and leave the room (I'm the last patient of the day) The whole process takes just 10 minutes and I've done it 25 times so far.  J

ZEROING IN ON THE TUMOR BED Yesterday was my last all-over radiation treatment and today they started to zoom in on just the tumor bed.  Rather than covering my whole breast, underarm, and part of my chest, it just covers a baseball size circle around the area where the cancer was removed. Before the machine fired from above me on the right, down across my breast and out my underarm, and then moved to below me on the left, up through my underarm and breast.  I found a graphic that shows exactly what the all over treatment looked like.  This picture is even for the left breast, just like me. Today it was aimed just inches away from my breast and fired straight down on it.  This made me nervous because I remember the doctor saying that they try to aim away from the lungs.  I guess that is what they did the first 26 times, but there is no way they are missing it now! The buzz from the machine lasted about 45 seconds (it seemed) and again I imagined the radiation penetrating my
