Paige's Husband, Ed, Goes Bald in the Name of Mother-in-Law SolidaritySo many "C" words to keep track of these days.
And it all had new meaning as Liz began her treatment today. By mid-morning she was hooked up to tubes and being legally poisoned. Five hours and several games of Nertz later, she was on her way home. Really no worse for wear. Erin kept her in good company and good spirits and took the opportunity to knit a beanie cap while texting the bigger sister with pertinent (and not-so-pertinent updates). It would be comical if it all didn't feel so catastrophic.
It's good to have this day behind us. Too much anxiety. Too much unknown. Too much craziness.
Now we hope she tolerates this well. We pray for minimal side-effects. We look forward to killing this nasty little invader.
Another "C" word for ya. . .
Cancer.
Chemotherapy.
Crappy.

Love Ed's new do! He may never go back. Liz will be a bald beauty. I hear it just falls out after 10 days or so. Your head feels itchy and as you itch it just comes out. Crazy that a treatment is basically poison. Love ya Liz. Another C-word.....Cya cancer!
ReplyDeleteThat's one devoted son-in-law! Just wanted Liz to know how much we are thinking of her and praying for her. Liz, you've been in our thoughts lately as we assisted in a friend's wedding and remembered what a wonderful angel YOU were and how hard you worked on ours (even though our reception was on your anniversary weekend). Next month it will be our 12 year anniversary, and we think of you and Mark so often as we move forward in our lives together. We love you both so much!!!! Love, Cindy and Brent Iverson
