Did you know that they will also put small tatoos everywhere they want the laser to be pointed? Yes, they are real tatoos! Saturday, January 22, 2011. I will be...

Update on Heidi: Being a Science Project
http://updateonheidi.blogspot.com/2011/02/being-science-project.html
To keep Heidi's family and friends up to date on the latest news. Everything is going to be fine! Sunday, February 20, 2011. Being a Science Project. Well, I start radiation on Tuesday. I go every day for 6 weeks. That seems like a long time. I'm not looking forward to it. About a week ago I went for the "simulation". This is the appointment where they measured everything to get set up for radiation. I need to be in the exact same position each time. So how do they make sure that happens? By the way, the...

Update on Heidi: Some Hair Here, No Hair There...
http://updateonheidi.blogspot.com/2011/03/some-hair-here-no-hair-there.html
To keep Heidi's family and friends up to date on the latest news. Everything is going to be fine! Sunday, March 6, 2011. Some Hair Here, No Hair There. So I'm actually looking quite strange. If you don't notice the lack of eyelashes, you definitely notice the weird eyebrows. That's because they haven't fallen out consistently. All of the ones closest to the bridge of my nose are gone but there are quite a few farther out. I guess you could say I'm the opposite of a unibrow! For now, I'm still wearing my ...

To keep Heidi's family and friends up to date on the latest news. Everything is going to be fine! Monday, April 4, 2011. Today was my last radiation treatment! Yes, I AM DONE! I can't believe it. David and I had champagne tonight to celebrate and I feel like I deserve to drink about 4 bottles, at least. I got home and the boys had cleaned the living room of their toys and set the table for dinner (complete with flowers) WITHOUT BEING ASKED! It was a truly historic day! But as with all things medical, the...

Update on Heidi: September 2010
http://updateonheidi.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
To keep Heidi's family and friends up to date on the latest news. Everything is going to be fine! Tuesday, September 28, 2010. I had the appointment today. Everything is going well. We got details on the pathology report. They removed 17 lymph nodes, only 2 of which had cancer (which means it probably hasn't spread far). The margins the surgeon removed around the tumor were clear which means they got all of the cancer out. Next it's on to chemotherapy! The drain wins round 2 after all! For my coworkers, ...

To keep Heidi's family and friends up to date on the latest news. Everything is going to be fine! Friday, March 18, 2011. My eyebrows, that is. I grabbed my tweezers and next thing I knew, all eyebrows were gone! I'm going to regret this in the morning," I thought. The next morning I brushed on some eyeliner where my eyebrows used to be and it looked horrible! As my mom said, the fact that I actually care about my appearance is a very good sign that I'm feeling better! April 1, 2011 at 6:20 AM. Sharon's ...

Update on Heidi: Taxol, Round 3
http://updateonheidi.blogspot.com/2011/01/taxol-round-3.html
To keep Heidi's family and friends up to date on the latest news. Everything is going to be fine! Monday, January 17, 2011. Taxol, Round 3. Thursday I went back for my third Taxol treatment and found out some interesting news. Falling - Apparently Taxol causes balance problems. That is probably why I fell twice. Also, the balance issues can be permanent! My oncologist told me to be careful and to always hold on to railings, etc. And of course, this can also be permanent. This Taxol is some serious stuff.
