After discussing it my sweetheart, and many prayers, I have made the decision to treat the cancer aggressively. I'm relieved to have the decision made. The doctors office will call today to get the pre-auths they need from the insurance company and then we'll get started. The duration of the treatments will be about 6 months with each cycle lasting about 3 weeks.
The side effects are the typical chemotherapy side effects. Lovely, right? Thankfully, they have meds to treat most of them.
A funny thing ... with this chemo there's about a 50-70% chance that I will loose my hair. With this in mind, I decided I might as well color it red. I'm always nervous about doing reds and I usually shy away from them because they require a lot of maintenance. But, if I might loose it any way, I might as well have fun with it. So, watch for the red to come. :)
And, please, keep the prayers coming!
We will keep you in our prayers! Best of luck dear.
