Hello cuties, as you know I love Christmas and start early in the year so there is no pressure. Like children I am counting how many more sleeps. Today my oncologist decided after going over the scans that I had done this morning to but me back on Chemo as the tablets have come to a standstill. The good news is because I have scans every three months the oncologist can see when my treatment needs to be changed. I feel good that they are keeping a close watch on me. I know that I will have unwell days so have decided to start after Christmas. My wig is made of real hair, so I only wear it on cooler days. There are some pretty funky ones in one of the stores. All different colours ranging from pinks, greens and many more. They look like glow in the dark ones that are worn at dances. Apparently there are patterns for caps on the internet designed for people having Chemo. I am going to try them out so if you see someone wearing a funny looking cap made out of patchwork fabric you will know it is me. I have decided not to hide away this time. They say happy people live longer. Now for the bad news my darling husband and the most of the crews has been retrenched so now he has found a position two hours further north. I am very fortunate that I have nice neighbours and my son only lives a few streets away, my daughters are also near by. My grandsons can take turns staying overnight if needed. Thankyou so much Chris for making me a lovely quilt last year, it is comforting to take with me to the hospital on Chemo days. The patchwork group that I go to is having our Christmas lunch tomorrow, so I am off to bed. lots of hugs Heather.
Good luck with your treatment.
I just love those hats that "bowlds" has displayed below. I love the Purple ones particularly and I know a few others beside Carolyn love the colour purple too.
May you and your whole family be blessed this Christmas time and I'm so glad that you take your quilt with you when having the chemo. You can feel the love that went into making it and know that there are hundreds of women praying for you all over the world. Love and blessings Chris
Hugs, Lidia
last winter. Lost hair Thanksgiving Day. Then we had an Ice Storm in
Jan. I had a wig that I wore 3 times. I made hats. I used a ski cap pattern
and made many in all sorts of knits. I made some out of cotton knit that
I slept in. I even made some out of sequine knit. A red one and a royal
blue. Even made flowers to match. I didn't do much embroidering
during Chemo. I did stay on the computer and followed Cuties and
enjoyed seeing all the projects that everyone shares. Take care and
check in here to let us know how you're doing. God's speedy cure.
