Wife Just Diagnosed w/ ES SCLC - What Can We Expect?

Good morning Dee! I never gave it another thought after I was told that I might not lose my hair. Pretty brazen, eh? I did lose some hair but not enough that I paid any attention to it. Every day I woke up, showered, and made sure no matter how tired I was I put makeup on. As you can see in my photo my hair looks like it needed some attention and the makeup I had on that day had worn away. It was my very last day of chemo!

The gal next to me was my partner in crime! My immersion room was huge with a ton of people in it and it became very lively. The nurses had all worked together for 10 years and were crazy! We had one guy who was a very loud man, very obnoxious, butting in on all conversations so his nurse finally shut him up with a good dose of a relaxant of some kind! lol.

They held science quizzes and health quizzes and people brought games and shared everything! Lunch was from a nearby deli at no cost.

I don't think that this could happen in today's world but it sure was an incredible experience, one that I cherish and will always cherish. haha

Merry you look great! I love your story about how you dealt with the chemo back then. In todays immersion rooms people are all glued to their PDAs , headsets in place so conversation at a minimal unless requesting something....:-(
