Day 4 after Chemo, August 10, 2006, Valerie was up at 7 AM and feeling good! She was up until about 2 PM this afternoon and then needed to take a nap. She actually headed out today and had a chance to wear her new wig. She says she asked the receptionist what she thought of her wig and she replied in shock "That is a wig? We see people in here with wigs all the time, and I would have bet money yours was not one!" That made Valerie's day. The kids went bowling with their friends from school while Valerie took her afternoon nap. On Friday she has to undergo an MUGA Scan (since the Chemo she is taking can be very bad for the heart muscles). This is pretty normal for people taking Adriamycin as part of their Chemo cocktail, and gives the doctors a clear and early indication if the Adriamycin is causing any problems for her heart.
