Surgery Day

I dyed my hair today. (7 February 2007)

Surgery Day…

I’m at City of Hope they installed a Hickman catheter this morning…

With my Mom in tow, I left home this morning at 5:30 and they began the operation at 8:30. It supposed be a 30 minute procedure, but the thing wouldn’t work after they installed it, so, they brought in some technical people to look at it, two hours later, success!

Late tonight, I’m going to be infused with chemotherapy called Cytoxan, its part of the conditioning therapy, but it will also stimulate my stem cells to multiply which they plan to harvest sometime next week.

Sometime within the next fifteen days, I’m going to lose my all my hair. So, I was trying to figure out a way to soften the loss and I decided the best way to lose my hair if I didn’t like it, so, I dyed it brunette. I’m thinking if it looks horrible, losing my hair would not bother me as much. I posted a picture above.
