Just a quick note to let everyone know that ALL of YOUR Thoughts and PRAYERS WORKED and I did not cry or melt down when I went into my first chemo treatment.
I slept thru most of it....can you believe that????
I am very very very very tired and have pretty much slept since getting home on Wednesday. BUT I'm STILL SMILING!!!
The above picture of me in that DARLING HAT is a GIFT from Betty over at SHE'S SO PRETTY that her daughter made for me. I think it is ADORABLE and my girls are already trying to snag it from me.....(I had to hid it from them....LOL) Oh, and I still have my hair BUT it FEELS GROSS, like a BIG HAYSTACK of CRUNCHY HAY!!!!
I have only been slightly nausea and have not thrown up at all....THAT IS A GOOD SIGN!!!
I did have to go into the doctor's yesterday to get a $6000.00 shot to decrease infection and try to avoid having to go into the hospital. I HAVE TO HAVE ONE EVERY CHEMO SESSION......$6000.00.....YES, that is $36,000.00 for just six shots. I WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED!!!

Well, my body is telling me to go back to bed...it's hard for me to concentrate as I do have a mild migraine but other than that....LIFE IS GOOD!!!! BLESS US EVERYONE!!!! I am humbled by ALL OF YOU....EVERYDAY.....Love, Amy

Good to hear from you! Thank YOU for keeping us updated and taking the time to write and encourage US. You're a doll baby! Love the hat. You are stylin' as my kids at school tell me! Nap and take care. Hugs and Prayers! G.
Hold on to your faith and we'll be praying along with you. Your smile is beautiful. The hat is darling. :) many hugs xoxoxo
I was born with the hair you just described so we may look alike now...I need that hat!
Glad you are smiling :) That makes me smile.
Oh! I am so glad you gave us an update! I have been wondering how you have been doing! I love your hat how sweet is that! And it looks good on you! That's a lot of money for shots, but worth every penny if you do not get and infection!!!!!Take care and I will check in on you soon!
Amy,
It is so wonderful to see you smiling with what you are going through. Look at you in that hat! Too too sweet. I'm so glad you didn't get too sick. Not everyone does, and my husband never did, and he had a lot of chemo.
Geez, those shots went up a bit. If it's the same one, my husband's was $4,000 a few years ago! Whew!!!
Keeping you in prayer.
Your bud,
Nancy
You look great! And just so you know, I make my hair feel like crunchy hay on purpose! It's so curly that it just looks like fuzz if I don't put loads of stuff in it. So, crunchy is normal...
Amy, glad that you are smiling and the hat looks adorable. I am so happy the chemo didn't make you sick. Wow, $6000 and I thought my bills were high. I wish they had a group like they have in my hometown, Friends helping Friends----they get together with families of the person with high medical bills and have benefits to help them with their costs. They have a benefit and bingo and an auction. My family didn't do one for me, but they did do one for my brother's wife and raised $24,000.
Amy ~ I am so glad that you were up to post today ~ I was wondering how you are doing and praying for you ~ You look just darling in the hat !
I couldn't think of anyone more deserving of that hat. You look great in it. I can't take credit for it though...I bribed my daughter to make it with lots of yarn...LOL...She was very Happy to make it for you though!
Amy, gosh you look fantastic...it may be a $6,000.00 shot, but you're wearing a million dollar smile.....you are in my thoughts and prayers......I like the hat......God Bless......Betty
Amy I am so happy to see you posting as I was thinking about you and wondering how you were doing! It is so wonderful to see your spirits so high and you look so sweet in your new hat!! Keeping you still in my thoughts & prayers!!
