Update: May 11, 2006

It's been just over a month since I finished the big treatments..

All the burns have gone away, so it's actually like a faded tan at this point; barely noticeable.

The stiffness in my joints has subsided and feeling has returned to my fingers and in all, but 1 of my toes!

Mentally I'm feeling sharp again, I'm not losing things like I was and I'm able to remember more than 3 items from my grocery list!

..and as of April 27, I have taken off the hats & scarves! It was 3 months after my last chemo treatment. My hair is very short (obviously), with a slight wave to it.. too early to tell if I'll get that chemo-curl that 50% of patients get.. but it did come back in my natural color (blonde) so I added some color to it to help it look a little thicker.. which is now washing out & getting lighter again..

Here are some celebration pictures (more to come):

The best margarita a girl could ever want:
