Today we met with Dr. Rose(our Monday routine) and she told Marni that she looks great then asked, "did you lose weight?" In fact she did. Marni lost 3 lbs. in the last week. The weight shift has been tough on her, as I would image for any women. But we cut back on the steroids, which effects her dramatically...
But today was a good day for weight comments. Bring them on!
This afternoon, Marni pulled a gigantic clump of hair out of her brush and gave me the big sad lip. Since late last week, her hair has been coming out in random clumps. You probably wouldn't be able to tell it is coming out, unless you look really closely or she shows you. She hides it well; she got that bald guy on top comb-over thing going on right now...
I told her Finn, Sloan and I would shave our heads with her. But I don’t think she is buying what I am selling.
I am a friend of Melissa Fritzsche's. She told me all about you months ago and she has kept me up to date on your treatment. Three weeks ago, my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 osteosarcoma. The primary is in his hip, and it has spread to his lungs and brain. They are talking about using the cyber knife technique to operate. I am off to read all of your posts. So sorry this has happened to you, too.
