Crazy, fun, colorful hair

These last two weeks have been such a whirlwind.

 Wednesday morning, Wil and I had chemo teaching at the cancer center. The education nurse, Amy, did an amazing job along with the pharmacist student. I got these cold mitts to wear when the Taxol infuses. This helps to decrease my hands getting the chemo which can cause (and did in the past) neuropathy. Feels like a dulled sensation. 

That afternoon, Wil drove me to get my second COVID vaccine. It was a quick and easy process. I got the Pfizer one. Afterwards, had a sore arm, slight full headache, and swollen lymph nodes. 

Saturday, Wil and headed to see my wonderful and talented sister, Lauren, to get my hair done before chemo. I have been growing it out for almost two years to be able to donate it again. 

The first step was to get my hair prepped for donation. I felt like Coolio and we all took a turn cutting some off !

Then Lauren and I got to have some sister time during the coloring progress. She kept it a secret what the final look would be. And as always, she did a phenomenal job! 

Prayer requests:

1. Praise for healing process with port already with minimal discomfort. 

2. Huge praise for very little side effects from my second COVID vaccine and ability to get it before chemo starts. 

3. Pray for peace and comfort during chemo on Monday. We go in at 10:30 and Wil is able to come with me for my first infusion. 

4. Pray for minimal side effects after chemo. 

5. Pray for us to see glimpses of God's goodness in each step of this journey.
