THE LONG AWAITED UPDATE

Hi Friends! Can you believe it? I'm actually posting. It's amazing.

I just completed my second round of the Red Dragon last Friday. It wasn't as bad as the first, but I still got sick. I continue to feel just bad enough not to function normally. I like to call it "The Icks."

My hair is falling out. Thanks to my friend and devoted roommate Will, I now look like Billy Jean from the classic "The Legend of Billy Jean" (the photos are forthcoming).

I just wanted to thank everyone for their posts, cards and gifts. Everyone's thoughts and prayers are really helping me through this!

You could totally kick Helen Slater's ass. However, you need to pick a theme song, b/c that's the one thing that Billie Jean has over you...every time I hear the strains of Pat Benetar's "Invincible" I start pumping my fist in the air and screaming "Fair is fair!" We need to pick you a theme song Sarah!!!

This is from WELLSPRINGS by Anthony de Mello. I will paraphrase a little:
I have a treasure:the thing I value most in life. i relieve the events that led me to "give birth to it". I think of the history of my life from the time I "had" this treasure...what it has done for me and meant to me. I stand before this treasure and I say, of all the things I have, you are the dearest.And I see what happens to me when I pronounce that sentence. I think how much I would gladly do or give (even life itself) in order to preserve this treasure "even though it is now bald". Bald is beautiful, go girl

Love Mom (who else?)

Hi, Sarah. I saw your post on YSC. I just finished my four dose-dense taxols. They were SO MUCH nicer to me than AC. I can actually taste food now, and my energy is back. Hang in there. I was able to see the light at the end of the tunnel during Taxol. During AC, I was in a constant fog, and I couldn't see s**t! Take care. www.musickbrigade.blogspot.com
