 It's really thinning now! Still no patches but VERY VERY thin. I imagine it will all be gone by the end of this weekend.

Hi Stacey, We were away when the news came about the brain tumors. We were so sorry to read about your recent battle. Please know that we continue to pray for your full recovery--we pray loudly daily!! We believe you will win this battle---you are so strong Stacey, and there are so many prayers being offered on your behalf. In the meantime we will be happy to hear that the radiation is over, and that you are getting some relief from the side effects of the meds. I want you to know that I do understand some the feeling about the hair loss, however I can't know fully the sadness it brings. My friend is going through that right now for the second time, and she feels just like you. I tell her to think of it as a sign that the treatment is helping her body fight the cancer. I know though that I would feel just like you and my friend if it were happening to me. Please know that I am sorry that you must experience it again also. Your God message is good and so true. You can stand tall, as I know from your web site you have and are still helping family, friends and stranges cope with cancer and their battles. Wishing you a good day tomorrow. Love and prayers. Bonnie

Hi Bonnie!! I'm so happy to hear from you. I've been hoping to get a post from you. You're so inspirational for me. I thought maybe you were having a tough time wrapping your mind around it so I didn't want to email you and bug you. But I'm relieved to hear you were away.

The hair loss is okay. I guess I'm getting used to it. It's not gone yet but I expect it will be by the end of the weekend. It doesn't really bring me sadness. At least this time my hair didn't get a chance to get long. That may have bothered me more if it had. I'm sorry for your friend though. I know it's so tough on a lot of people to lose it. I keep all my hair. This will be my third bag from the three rounds. My dogs just sit there and watch me while I put hair in the bag. I think my dogs are getting used to watching me pull out my hair. They probably think I shed every few years.

I can't believe day 13 is already over. I ONLY have seven more treatments to go. Can you believe that??? The staff at my radiation office is absolutely a joy to be around. They have a lot of fun back in the control room and while I'm sitting there waiting, we just sit there and lough and cut up. I have so much fun when I get there. I sometimes wonder if they aren't used to having patients that are having a good time while they are there. I did tell them today that I actually will miss coming there everyday and seeing them. They said to visit anytime I want.

As for God, I had a discussion with him the other night... out loud. Not that he needs me to remind Him, but I told him that there are plenty of people out there that don't want to live and there are a lot of people out there that don't have what it takes to fight their battles and they want to give up. GO AFTER THEM. I'm not going anywhere, I don't plan on going anywhere, I will be here, I love my love, I have a lot of life to live, I have a lot of educating to do, I have a lot of loving of my family and friends to do, I have my babies, I adore my life and I plan on living it. The harder I get kicked the harder I am kicking back. All I ask from Him is to continue to give me all I need to fight this battle and just go after the ones that don't want to be here.

Thanks so much for checking in. I look forward to hearing from you.

Me again Stacy! Thanks for the compliment, but you are the one that is an inspiration!! Really, your zest for living is always the best under most difficult times!! I know that I have told you before that I believe that attitude has so much to do with battling cancer or any disease. Also,I am glad that you were talking out loud to God. I remember too, about the sermon I shared with you that I learned that God wants to know exactly what we want. I am not shy when it comes to telling him. I many times speak out loud to God on your behalf and also my friends. I tell him about your spirit for living and helping people which is invaluable in today's world, and also I tell him you are too young to be leaving us. So I am glad that we are on the same page with that! So you keep up the good fight and attitude, and I will continue to let God know what we want!

My friend is a hairdresser, and I think that makes it a little harder for her to have the hair come out. It is a struggle for her, but I understand that too. I laughed when I read that your dogs must think that you shed every few years!!! Aren't the dogs just the best! We kept our grandchildren's dog, Sarah over the weekend. Jack and I love dogs, but we don't have our own anymore since we like to travel. So we are always happy to sit one of the kid's dogs.

It was good to hear from you. I hope that tomorrow is a good day for you, and that the last 12 treatments go quickly. Love and prayers, Bonnie
