Stephanie here:
Shauna says to tell you all that she is doing really well.
She had a pleasant, pampered Thanksgiving with friends. Even though she isn’t eating much these days, she still managed to stuff herself like the proverbial Thanksgiving turkey. And she allowed herself to sit on the couch and be pamper.
On Friday evening, they went to another friend’s and played a game called “Time’s Up” and had a thoroughly great time. Such a great time that she stayed up past her bedtime!
I delivered dinner on Saturday and visited for a while. She took off her kerchief and showed me her bald head. It’s a very odd thing to see her bald, but not scary. We talked about a lot of things, some of them not even cancer related!
She’s trying to live her life as “normal” as possible. Working part-time at her job, where she is getting such warmth and support. Her lounge chair is in an empty office so she can rest if she needs. She is glad to be back at work and I’m sure her boss and co-workers are happy to see her.
She thinks the chemo is working, feels like the lumps are getting smaller, but there has been no official diagnosis of that yet. She looks good, and despite a few teary moments between us, is in good spirits.
