Going to buy some hats.

Fish Joke:   What fish sounds like a telephone? Herring, herring…herring, herring…herring.

Over the weekend we noticed some hair loss and started monitoring to see if it was steady.  The hair is steadily coming loose so it is time to shave it down.    Hair loss is a side effect of the treatments and was a possibility to happen, does not happen to everyone these days, but in my case it has.  Which is ok, I will save some money on shampoo and not have to worry about my hair being all over the place.  Makes going out easy.  Great excuse to pick up a couple of new hats as well.

Otherwise I have been doing exceptionally well overall.  Over the past week I have spoken with a lot of people on the phone.  The amount of support, prayers and love has really built up our spirits as well.  The reinforcement is amazing and truly Teresa and I are really blessed.  

It is hard sometimes to hear all these stats and stories about increased risks developing cancer.  Seems no matter what we eat, some product we use or something we do has a study to advise it may increase your risk of cancer.  In recent weeks I have gone through a ton of this information and in the end the common outcome is we are all at risk and the disease will select some and not others.  Just seems to be the way it is in my opinion.  Sticking to the basics is really the way to reduce the risk.  Balanced diet, some exercise and everything else in moderation.   Of course smoking, seriously look at stopping that is 1 common factor that was clearly an increase risk.
