Day 17 – 10/26/09 Monday

Met with the oncologist today. She seems so young but super knowledgeable. It was an overwhelming amount of information to take in. The good news is I won’t have to be sequestered away to a sterile environment and move home. The bad news is that it’s going to last a LONG time. Six to eight months. I was thinking three to four. The hair loss will be a certainty. I won’t be able to eat fresh fruit and veggies. Need to avoid crowded places and sick people. Mainly the bf needs to take care of himself and not get sick.

I started telling more people tonight. First it was my brother, who responded with a very loud “WHAT?!!!!!” and then made me well up with tears with how concerned and tender he was. Since he was leaving on a business trip for the week, he offered to be on speakerphone when I told our parents this weekend.
