On my “to-do” list for today was shaving my head! I want to get used to being totally bald before actually needing to pull tufts of hair off my head. I am super nervous but excited at the same time! This makes it feel so real!

In preparation for losing my hair from my upcoming chemo, I decided to get my head shaved at Carlo’s Barbershop! I love this – I get to try an edgy new do!

I am leaving for Chicago tomorrow!!! Then early morning Thursday I have an MRI and some more tests, because I have had increased symptoms since they last saw me for pre-testing in November. Then, Friday, Feb. 27, is the day I get my first chemo! Wow. Just wow.
This is so surreal for me!
I’m excited, nervous, happy, scared, sad to leave my kids, and blessed that I am so lucky to be given this chance.
Tomorrow, I begin the next and MOST HOPEFUL chapter of my life thus far.
I still need to pack.
I’ll pack tomorrow morning… TOMORROW! Wow, time flies!
Good grief, I’m so nervous!
