It's Official - We have Peach Fuzz!

I verified that fact last night. And it didn't require a magnifying glass either ;-)

It's coming in very evenly, very light in color right now and peach fuzz is just about the best phrase to describe how it feels. Her eyebrows are beginning to come back and a few small eyelashes were spotted as well making their appearance. You could almost hear Stravinskiy's Rite of Spring in the background....

And Erin Carr - thanks for posting a couple of weeks ago. It's good to know you're doing well. Erin was one of Nancy's angels at Cedars who is now doing a stint at John's Hopkins. Click here to see her picture in case you don't remember her.

I really which that there was more to report after such a long absence but this part of her recovery is like watching grass grow sometimes. Each day seems to bring very small advances overall. she is still experiencing pretty bad neuropathy and fatigue. It's funny how you get used to taking 2 hours to just eat and shower in the morning but that's what it's like these days. With little or no feeling in her hands, be careful if you sit next to her while she's eating. You just never know when her fork might just fall out of her hand. We are staying away from soup for the time being.

So, that's all the news that's fit to print. Say a prayer if you think of it for all cancer patients who may be struggling with their disease...
