Thanks. And thank goodness it's OK because I just can't do the gushy thing. I took her for her day after shot today. It hurt. She's very tired and wobbly, but the drugs are keeping the nausea at bay. Neither of us wear make-up much but she asked me to take her to a hair/make-up for chemo people thing next week. I'm going, of course, but I half suspect she's doing it just to see exactly what awful things I'll do when she plays the C card . (No, really she wants me to keep the gushing sharers at bay and stop them making her look like Barbie on Crack when she's too weak to say Stop! I think she's going because the workshop is there and sometimes you can't predict what help you're going to need to feel good.

Monster - keep up the good work. I'm not a make-up person either, but it can be fun to experiment (even under these awful circumstances). I know you'll help your friend to have fun with the possibilities.
Hugs to you!

perhaps start the search for cool scarves or hats - a friend of mine did the whole scarf thing, and they looked great on her, but were hard to find. don' tknow if she'd want a wig - might want to start looking for that too, cuz they're doubly hard to find.
Ooh! She could join you and Cherry in the crazy color crowd! How fun!

She already has hats and is knitting caps. no scarves and definitely no Cranial Prosthetics (srsly, it's the pc way to say w-i-g, i saw it on a cancer website). I suggested she should knit a hat that looks like a huge boob....

ooh, i must suggest that. In fact maybe I will get her those very items. And a gold earring. She already poo-pooed my idea of loaning her the kids' dress-up hat collection. Court Jester one day, British bobby the next....

I got great, awesome scarves from TLC. They were the big kind that you could tie like a gypsy. Beautiful, hand-printed designs, too. TLC is a catalogue for ca pts. bet her dr's office has it.
Look Good Feel Better - is a place where they show you how to not look so...cancer-y. I was so sick, though, i didn't really much care how I looked...but after loosing eyebrows AND lashes, you do tend to look like a melon. Featureless. it's depressing. at least it was for me. Best to her, god love her.

Thanks for the advice, Bri. She's getting ACT, by the way.

Adriamycin and Cytoxan and Taxol?
I had Taxol (or Taxotere) first then the AC. It was a reverse order. They usually do AC first and THEN the Taxol.

Yes, the big C is good for lots of acronyms.

the AC didn't bother me too much - was not nauseated more than on T.
it was the Taxotere that caused me problems. Bone pain, horrible, horrible bone pain. and even water tasted nasty.
