Day 5 Chemo


Easy day today, it is scary when something as serious as chemotherapy becomes so routine that it's like you don't mind. Andrea was waiting for me with the IV nurse, breakfast ordered. Two and half hours of chemo and out. The only bad news is that they warned me that it is about now when the hair will start to go.

Yes, we know... there is not that much hair anyway!!! But I will trim it really short. No shaving of the head is allowed, you might get nicked and get an infection. Now I will have to get me a new beret. French or Scottish????

Mima,

The Ogilvie clan votes for the scottish tam-o'-shanter. If David looks good in one, so will you!

Love and hugs to you and Paul,
The Ogilvies

Now would be a good time for that pimp hat Carolyn has been asking for. I think a leopard print with fur around the edge would suit you nice :) Take care of yourself.

Since this is a knitting blog, there are many people who would pay to see you in one of these cute li'l hats:

Remember the little strawberry or pumpkin hats... well, now there is the cupcake hat:

For a much more extensive, attractive collection, see:

My personal choice for you is the "flame hat"!!

Alternatively, here is a handsome one that would suit you well:

I'm imagining a black knitted beret, with ... you got it ... the designer MIMA label somewhere on it!!
