Thanks for all of your notes of encouragement. It is definitely a new experience having a shaved head. I'm feeling really great and keeping my spirits up. It's awesome to be able to check my blog and have so many comments that are all so positive and inspirational. I feel like quite the trendsetter...if only Brittany hadn't beaten me to it.
It's been stormy for the past two days, but for some reason, the rain doesn't seem to hit my front garden. I'm really disappointed, because I hate watering in this heat. I guess I had better suck it up and get out there soon or I won't have any plants or flowers left.
I am scheduled to see my oncologist next Tuesday and then I suspect I'll begin my 6th treatment sometime towards the end of next week. I finally have a consult to see the liver surgeon, Dr. Choti, at the end of this month, so hopefully that will work out. It's always a little hard waiting and not knowing what's next, but I guess I'm getting used to it.
Take care!!!
Love,
Erica

Monster weeds have taken over my back yard, so I can sympathize! Never thought I'd be so excited about the thought of a liver surgeon, my fingers remain crossed. By the way, your wig look's much better than Britney's weave!!!
Love,
Mary
yah don't feel too bad about your yard. do a little drive by my house and you will feel much better. and like i said before the pictures of the wig don't do it justice. you look like a flippin model in person!

Hi, Erica!
Just catching up with your events and happenings. Love the photo of you and your new wig. You look glamorous! I agree with your friend Mary...Britney Spears has nothing on you!
Glad to know things are going positively (you're kicking butt) and that you and Christian have taken time to get out and away!
How's your knitting coming along? By now, you probably are a pro!
Hugs,
~Deanna
