Chemo Cocktails....Shaken, but not stirred

Mike and I met with the oncologist, Dr. Singh today.  Is it bad that we both noticed a "Yoda type" hair coming out of his ear???  I guess we needed other things to focus on.  Dr. Singh seems to be very knowledgable and very caring...and most important, he's honest....thank goodness cuz I really need honesty about this whole process.  I guess my first thought about the whole meeting is that I am glad I read and did some research.  I know some people are against learning things off the internet, cuz let's face it....it's the internet. For all any of us know, Joe Blow from Detroit who lives with his mom and plays on the computer all day long could be posting some of the information about having breast cancer so you just don't know what you should believe or not.  Well, I have received most of my information from the Cancer websites so I felt pretty confident on my research and I think it surprised my oncologist when I not only agreed with him, but I understood his terminology.  So, that being said I am on the course to give myself the most lethal doses of chemo possible cuz I have to get it all to prevent it moving to other parts of my body.  I am all for that so I am ready for whatever they want to throw at me.  Scary, YES!!!  Ready?  YES!  I just want to get it over with.  I have a really good haircut and style right now so I am really not big on losing my hair, but what do you do??  Hair grows back, eyelashes grow back.....let's hope and pray and ZAP it so cancer DOESN'T grow back.
