Team Huber

  This lovely group of people ran a 5K last weekend.  The best part they did it for me!  Thank You so much for showing your support and all the encouraging words that help me fight this battle everyday.  I also want to recognize two people who ran on Sunday.  Amy ran a half marathon (I'm tired just typing that)  and Ellie ran a 10K.  You are all amazing!

Hair today, gone tomorrow

  It's official the hair is leaving my head.  I'm not upset or sad about my hair loss, (yet) I'm just not prepared for it.  I don't know if you can prepare yourself for something like that.  I have taken hair for granted all my life and now will understand how important it is for my self image, keeping me warm at night, and the way others see me including my children.  I think that one thing that really bothers me is I will look "sick".  Before no one knew I had cancer unless I had told them but now the world will know.  I am preparing myself for the days ahead when strangers will stare and children will...... well, be children.  I will be embracing my baldness, no wig for me, who wants to wear a hot, itchy wig in July?  No Thank You!  Instead I will be trying other methods of covering my head, hats, scarves, etc.  If anybody knows of great ways to cover ones head please share.  On another note I have my second dose of chemo this Thursday.  The first dose was pretty terrible but I think that it could have been worse.  Continued prayers for little to no side effects would be wonderful.
