Cathy has been feeling pretty good the last few days.  Digestion is working pretty much like normal with the exception of a little bit of heartburn.  She has gained back some of the weight she lost by eating regular foods like rice, chicken, vegetables, fruits, yogurt, and such.  She is also able to eat them in almost normal quantities.

Her hair is not as cooperative as her digestive system.  It's beginning to fall out more now.  Cathy reached the point that she was ready for a really short haircut yesterday.  She's wearing hats now and maybe a wig when it's not so hot.  Her hair is not gone, but it's thinning and thinning pretty evenly all over her head.  She doesn't have any patches gone, just lots of exposed scalp.  She says she looks like a boy, but I think she's beautiful.

  1. I finally had a chance to read this and catch up on this blog. I am Maya's mom. Maya was in Aaron's class... or was supposed to be but was tutored by Mrs. Woodruff due to her bone marrow transplant in September. I was saddened to hear of Cathy's diagnosis the day of the African Market. I am so sad to hear of another family stricken by cancer in the Mason area. Please know that Cathy and your entire family is on our prayer list. Maya and Cathy are tough as nails and they will kick cancer's BUTT! They WILL be survivor sisters!! Take care and I will keep up with your progress. This blog is written beautifully.
