Hi everyone! That's my mom. She came in for the first chemo to hang out and clean! It's been great having the help. I think I definately over-estimated how much I would be able to do after chemo. I'm just used to having soooo much energy that the lack of it seemed impossible to me. I'm here to tell you...chemo definately makes you tired. I feel much better today. My mom and I have been going to Target a lot. It's amazing that you can go there day after day and still have more to buy. I have a blood test tomorrow to see how low my counts went. Then it will be time to start preparing for the next round. Thanks again everyone for all the love!
love ya...Hope Q.
P.S. Jill's mom makes the best oatmeal chocolate-chip cookies in the entire world!

The new me! I like it. He did such an awesome job and I'll enjoy it while it lasts. I haven't had my hair this short since the 2nd grade. Otherwise, I am doing okay. They aren't kidding about the nausea though. I keep looking forward to the day it passes. I have such great support though. Thank you everyone! Thanks Jill for giving me such a cool new do. Scott is doing great too. He was at Ikea with my mom while I got my hair hacked. I don't think he would have been as brave as I was and I had Ativan! For you non-medical people, Ativan is a very strong anti-anxiety med used for chemo-induced nausea; it's also a nice muscle relaxer!

The before shot. Wow I have a lot of hair. Andre rocks! He was so helpful considering I was a little nauseous...he used a really nice peppermint oil to smell. I felt like one of those girls on America's Next Top model...I kept pretending like I was one of those girls that freaks out when they get a new haircut.
