Last Wednesday I had my fourth (and last of the cycle) intravenous chemotherapy. I'll now have 2 weeks off. The latest results of this chemo have made it a little more difficult to keep my sense of humor. My skin has become super sensitive to the sun , resulting in a condition like sun poisoning. There are red spots on my arms, chest and lower legs. My hair has decided to part company with my scalp, although I still have enough to sport a very short Parisian gamin hairstyle. It's actually quite chic! I bought a wig in preparation for the time the hair is too sparse. I also have begun to have red, burning palms. In spite of all of this I'm having a great time meeting friends for lunch, enjoying dinner parties, and being present for Ryan's pre-prom dinner party by the pool at sunset. Thirty of his friends gathered for photos and food before being taken to the prom via the Santa Barbara Trolley. Nick and his fiancee came to S.B. yesterday and spent the night. Today I am with Laurie and Skip at their house. Aletha and her boyfriend are also spending the weekend. Monday I'll go back to Chris' to pack for the trip home. Aloha for now.
