Carlene had all her hair cut off yesterday by the lady from whom she purchased her wig. It is a beautiful human hair wig. It' amazing - the wig looks like her real hair, same color, same cut. Carlene is very pleased. We found a new use for duct tape - removing dead hair follicles. I went through about half a roll last night, lightly applying it to her scalp to remove the dead hair.
We went for a walk this morning in our neighborhood, trying to walk up all the steep hills we could find. She has her next chemo treatment this Thursday. Her strength is good, she has been eating well, and getting lots of sleep at night. She was a little bummed yesterday about her hair, but I think she is doing great today. She is going to meet a couple of friends this afternoon to show off her new wig.
Carlene has many friends who love her like a sister. I decided to start this blog as a way to update family and friends about her fight against breast cancer - Mike
