The first good news of the day is that I got a really cute haircut. How to manage my hair with this illness has been a concern for me, but Lisa (who is Lori Johnson's sister and visiting from Utah) dropped everything to cut my hair. This was so nice because she came to my home and on my schedule. She cut it yesterday, but by the time she finished, I was so tired I had to lay down and I never got it styled. I had enough energy to fix it today, and even snap a photo to share with you all. Who knows what the next weeks will bring for my hair, but today, it's cute and I'm happy with it.
The next good news is that I got a call from Dr. Abrass and I am scheduled for my first chemo treatment tomorrow at 10:40 in Reno. I have a lot of questions, but pretty much all I know is that it will be administered by IV drip and it is a 4-hour appointment. I am also scheduled for the second chemo treatment one week from tomorrow. I didn't get a satisfactory answer to my question of what I should expect in the way of post-chemo sickness, but I guess I'll get my own answer soon enough. I've heard of people who sail through relatively easily and of some who are really sick. I don't know the specifics of what I'm in for, but I do know this is the only way I have to attack the cancer. I'm eating and resting today in preparation for tomorrow. Thanks for the love and prayers!

Sheri, you look so good! Write down all of your questions and make sure that someone answers them before you leave your treatment tomorrow. Remember...there are LOTS of ways to treat that post-chemo sickness, so keep asking for something else until you find something that works! LIVESTRONG! btw...Lance is in the lead!
Wow! It looks great. Lisa was more than happy to help a fellow "sista" out. You look fabulous. We're excited for tomorrow and pray the Lord's blessings to be with you throughout all your chemo treatments. You're in our thoughts and prayers, but especially tommorrow as you enter this sort of "unknown." XOPXOP

My prayers go with you today - for healing, for you to continue to have an appetite and to feel good too. I will also put you on our church prayer line today.

FROM THE SWENSONS...This note is specifically for Sheri. . . who tried to call the other day, but we weren't home. Sheri. . . we are praying especially for you today as you start your chemo. We don't really know you, but we so appreciated your sweet message on our phone machine, and we want you to know that you are in our constant prayers as you battle your cancer. May God's love surround you and your family. . . we know it is hard. If anyone knows Sheri and can pass this message on to her, please do. We don't really know how to get ahold of her to tell her we are praying for her. Thank you!!
