Carolin's New Hobby

The lovely summer of 2004 came to an abrupt end when Carolin was diagnosed with cancer. What follows are the random thoughts and experiences of the Camerons as Carolin fights back.

Some things you shouldn't get use to.

Wednesday is chemo day #2.

Things are getting a little more real. In addition to the major hair loss, Carolin's scalp is hurting alot. As sleep involves laying on it, sleep has been haphazard. The doctor says it will be better in a couple of days. He also says that being cold all the time is normal. The doctor team was very surprised to hear she went running the day after Chemo #1. (Exercise is a good thing. ) He also said that it was unusual for a patient to be married to such a nice guy, but I digress.

Today's major shocker - survival rate in Carolin's situation according to the doctor is 50/50! That would be even worse to hear if there was any doubt which side of the line she was going to fall on.

Best estimate for surgery - end of November.
