Next lag...

Today Max and I both had appointments at Northwestern.  It was a true bonding experience...
Anyway, we did schedule the first chemo treatment to be Thursday, March 3rd, which is a little earlier than we had expected, but I guess let's just get it going!  I do have another appointment with the plastic surgeon next week to make sure that the tissue is healed enough to begin chemo.  I have a gut feeling that we will have to delay the chemo for a week or two, but who knows. 
Oh, I did get the other two drains out today.  Such a relieving feeling.  Maybe I can somewhat sleep on my side tonight, well, maybe with the help of a tylenol PM. 
I better get my wig shopping on.  I thought I would have a little more time.  I am interested in anyone's personal experience as to exactly when their or someone they knew lost their hair during treatments.  Doctors have said that typically it happens after the 2nd treatment.  Does that seem accurate?  Not that I am questioning doctors, I just want to be as prepared as possible. 
On another note, we found out that Max needs another eye surgery.  So we had to schedule that for March 17th.   We were very surprised when the doctor told us this was his next step.  We really thought he would not need to have any more surgery.  So...its going to be a rocky, bumpy, and LOVING March. 
As I am writing, I am thinking, poor Eric, his birthday is right in the thick of all of this, March 15th.  I am going to have to think of something special for him to make sure he is not forgotten through all of this.  He has been amazing through all of this. 
With love to all of you!
