The "C" Word

Someone once said, "Too often, we get so focused on the finish line that we fail to find joy in the journey." This is Brynn's journey. You are invited to share in her fear and faith as she ventures into unfamiliar territory. Thank you, in advance, for your prayers and support for Brynn and her family. This is OUR journey. As we work together and pray together, may we truly find joy along the way.

Chemo Week 4- My Week Off

This week I have no chemo! I am so happy! What makes me even more happy is that last week the chemo everyday made me kinda emotionally tired and grumpy, so Saturday and the last part of Friday night was spent barfing and feeling horrible. I literally sat on the couch and had a mini Harry Potter Marathon. I liked that part, and it would've made me really happy if I hadn't been so blah. Thanks to The Bridges and Swicks for those HP movies! I am back on my daily shots(yay me) which I still hate with a passion, but I have to get them to stay healthy, so it's worth it! I shaved my head on Thursday night, because my hair was coming out in chunks. While I miss it, I have to say that it's easier to have no hair. All I have to do in the mornings is wake up, get dressed, eat, and leave! Speaking of eating, I had lost my appetite again. Sunday I got it back, but by the end of the day I felt all weird again. I am fine now, life is usual aside from my runny nose and cough that came with the weather change. I've seen my friends, practiced for the school play, and even got a phone! I love it! Since I'm really bad at thanking people individually, and am very busy these days, I want to take a second to thank everyone for their love and support. These times have been hard and will continue to be so, so I am going to need all the support I can get. My mom wanted me to make something to post, and I rather like to monogram things, so I made a little thank you picture. I really appreciate you all! Bye!

    I have ALWAYS said that. I used to tell my college roommates that life would be so much easier if everybody was bald. And if everybody was bald, nobody would care that they were. Sorry you have to be the proof of my hypothesis. I'm glad Harry Potter kept you company.

    So glad you have a week off of chemo, and congrats on the new phone. Nice! Sorry you had to shave your head, but I am sure you are still beautiful. You will get to try out so many fun hairstyles as it grows back in. You will be adorable with a short little pixie cut before you know it.

    There are some cute scarves and head bands out there you might like to try. Hope your nausea goes away and stays away.
