I have an appointment with Duke!!!!!

I just have to tell ya'll that Duke called yesterday and made an appointment for me to see the Breast Oncologist and I am sooooooo excited....kind of nervous too...They made the appointment for next Wednesday which is the only time they had for a new patient for this Doctor for quite sometime and I was freaking out a bit b/c that is when my big chemo is scheduled. I called my Doctor here and they rescheduled the Cocktail for Tuesday. I pray I do not get sick and/or if I do that it holds out until I get back from our drive from Duke which is about 3-4 hours aways(although some of my friends have told me they can make it in 2.5 hours - you know who you are :) ) Treatment went well yesterday...this herceptin stuff I can handle and I hope it is just eating up all that cancer!!!!!!!!! Sooooo....after my last post ...the next day my hair just started falling out everywhere...in the shower in big clumps...I had to have my mother come in to help me get some of it before it clogged the drain! I got out and still just falling out everywhere..in my food ...on my sweet Carrington - which did not look like she was enjoying :) SO I went to the beauty shop and got my hair cut like Mike's - now we are twins...I mean, people have told us sometimes that we look alike...now we really do...but mine just keeps getting thinner everyday!!! It is still falling out but the pieces are much smaller and easier to clean up! I keep thinking my hair is up in a pony tale...BUT it's not! But that is ok.... Now when Micah got home from school he looked at me and said "Do you have hair like my daddy's, let's go find you a baseball hat" By the time he got in the house he had forgotten all about it...Every now and then he looks at me and says "Did your hair fall out?" But he is fine! Please pray that the decisions that we will be making will be what God wants us to do and that we know that beyond a shadow of doubt!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!
