Cancer Support and Caregivers Who Are Trail Blazers!

Andrew, Jr. · 06-25-2011, 11:32 AM

Debby,

So many of my close friends who endured chemo all have what they labeled as "chemo brain". They start talking and loose track of their thoughts. Others around them help them finish their sentences or ask them something to keep it going.

I can tell you that my sister had it as well. Everyone around her helped her out with conversations. And it does get better after the chemo stops.

She too lost all of her hair, and when it came back it was curly like a poodles. And she loved it! For once she was able to get the look she wanted without a ton of time spent in the bathroom trying to style it.

One day at a time. You are a gift from God and a treasure to all of us here. Never forget that.

I wish you much peace and tons of love,
Andrew

Thank you Andrew!

I spoke with someone yesterday, she was just finishing radiation and she had this great curly head of hair and she said her's was str8 as a pin before. She gave me something to look forward to.

Getting rid of hot rollers would free up a lot of space in the bathroom.

Been a great day!! Day two after chemo and feeling great this time. I cleaned house with the wonderful help of my 10 and 12 year old nieces. Tired but happy.

Bald and strong.

Please keep my friend Amy's little boy Ben in your thoughts as he has surgery to remove another tumor in his brain. This little guy is only 6 and his brain cancer is back for the second time. Let's pray this is the last time he will ever have to go through this!
