Thanks for the wig information. I don't need one yet. We are snowbirds. The hospital at our summer place has a service for free wigs. Their supply is pretty low right but they should be getting some in soon according to the nurse navitator. It is my understanding that at this time metastatic breast cancer is not "curable". My hope is to keep it under control and enjoy my life as much as possible. If some of the facilities I go to (labs, etc.) could get their stuff together it would make my life much easier. When I have to do things over and over and over it's very frustrating - i.e. spend 30 minutes registering every time I go to the lab, then wait an hour to get my labs done only to have to request results several times - what a waste of time. These are issues with our winter facility - the guys at our summer place in Montana are excellent. Still working through getting the winter labs organized - have changed locations for my blood work next month so we will see how that goes. Should be pretty simple - take blood, send the results to my oncologist, post on the patient portal. So far this has not happened but I am eternally hopeful. It's raining here in southern Arizona so I am enjoying my quiet time inside. Best wishes to all.
