Had a big mix up at the store today. Apparently, when the woman said, ‘Strip down facing me,’ she was referring to my credit card. 😁

Also, regrading hair, Deb recommends looking into wigs. Her mom (metastatic ovarian cancer, diagnosed in her mid-80s) initially resisted but eventually relented. Mom picked a wig that looked like the way she wanted her natural hair to look, but somehow never did more than two days after the hair appointment; Mom said she enjoyed having that "I just got this done!" look. Deb's research found that getting a wig helps most women patients, whether they pick a style that looks "normal" for them or a style that goes in a direction that they never would have with their real hair.

"As straight forward as a pit from a plum." I'm carrying that image for you Gail.

I do understand that loosing your hair is not at the top of your worry list. Maybe they can go together. I worked for this really kind company that helped kids with C. They invented a shooting game that helped them take their medicines more loyally. But they also threw a party when a child lost their hair. Because it meant that the chemo was taking. Talking about flip-thinking!

If that goes for your chemo too: I hope you loose your hair! So the medicine is doing what it' supposed to.

This is probably a very Typist thing to say :)

All the best.

You did an awesome job on the plum, I love it! Scarves are pretty but the human skin can be very pretty too.
