Background Info

It's been said that I am not an open book. I can live with that. But don't be surprised that I now have a blog. The purpose is to give everyone a place to get the latest on Marye's condition. Also, this way I won't have to make numerous calls to all of Marye's fans to keep everyone updated (she has a lot of fans). Having said that, I'm more than happy to talk to her fans and give any additional information or answer questions to anyone. I just prefer to do that via private phone calls or emails, which is why I'm using this and not a Facebook group.

I'll start by giving the background of what's happened since July 30, 2011, then start with daily updates. Start at the bottom for the whole story.

I will try to update this page every day as often as possible with her treatment and status. As I get more familiar with the features, I'll add links and email features, etc. Thanks.

Bald

So, Marye had her first chemo treatment less than two weeks ago, but this weekend, we noticed that her hair was coming out in pretty big clumps.  Well, she didn't want to shave her head until she had some caps to wear, and they're all in Nashville.  So we went down to the Brown Cancer Center Resource Center today and picked up a few things for her to wear on her head.

She got some nice things that will keep her head warm and are pretty stylish.  So, when we got home, it was time to shave her head.

Marye's Ponytail

Well, that's it for today.  She still is very fatigued, and has a constant low-grade nausea, but she's hanging in there.  Her next chemo treatment is next Thursday, so it should be fairly quiet until then.  I want to say "thank you" to all of her fans who have sent cards and emails to Marye with well-wishes.  She does appreciate them and it helps to know that she is loved.
