I have been in better spirits this past couple of weeks. I loved being together with family and friends during the holidays. I was so happy that everyone was feeling well and we were able to be with both our families for Christmas.
Everything so far is going well with my breast cancer treatment. The very good piece of news that I received this week is that I have tested negative for both BRCA mutations (BRCA1 and BRCA2). So that makes me feel better for the chances of any of my six sisters coming down with breast cancer.
Last week, besides beginning chemotherapy, I had my appointment for my wig fitting at Lucia’s Wigs with The Salon in Kenosha. Melissa Simon is the wig specialist there and she is such a kind and compassionate person. She is very knowledgeable about dealing with cancer patients and wigs. Melissa had me try on a few, and then took out a couple of catalogs to look through. I ended up picking one out of catalogs.
