In the picture, Alyson is wearing her "cold cap". We are hoping this will either eliminate or greatly reduce her hair loss. This week (treatment #3) will be a big week for the hair loss. Chemotherapy treatment takes about 15 days to get to hair proteins/cells. If she weren't using a cold cap, her hair would begin to fall out in clumps. Hopefully the cold cap will keep this from happening to a large extent.
Your prayers are greatly appreciated and felt. I am still amazed at how resilient Alyson is and how she is not letting this cancer dictate her life attitude. God has been incredibly present in our family. Our boys are taking everything in stride. Brooks has been amazing! Brock on the other hand is patiently waiting for mom to get "chemo brain". For those that don't know, the term chemo brain refers to chemo patients that become forgetful. We jokingly told Brock that when mom gets chemo brain she will forget silly things. So, now anytime Alyson acts like she forgot something, Brock is quick to tell her she has chemo brain. It's all in good fun.
We are all set for treatment #3. Alyson got a "surprise" visitor today. One of her best friends flew in from Pennsylvania to help out this week. We are so grateful for Kindra and her willingness to come see Alyson and spend some time with her.
Thank you again, for all your continued prayers and support.
