Hair today... Gone tomorrow.

It's been two months and two chemo treatments since Grandma Fosh was diagnosed with lymphoma and she feels terrific!! She has been so fortunate to not feel any side effects from the treatment she is receiving to beat this cancer!

Well, there has been one side effect... Sinead O'Conner and Grandma Fosh now have something in common... Last week Grandma's hair decided to start falling out. Grandma went to see the wonderful Diane Bell at A Flair With Hair in Athens. Diane measured and studied Grandma Fosh's head and hairstyle and ordered Grandma a fresh new look! We had a great time today at A Flair With Hair as Diane tried four different wigs on Grandma. We had quite the laugh!! The first one looked amazing! The second one, not-so-much - Grandma said that one made her look like George Washington. The third one, Grandma said, looked like Harpo Marx. The fourth one was nice but not as nice as #1!! Grandma looks wonderful - she looks young and vibrant! She said now she is a real "cougar"!!

Poppie just said that his knuckles are raw from "knocking wood" because Grandma has felt so great and has not felt any of the side effects that are commonly associated with chemotherapy. We all agree! I think it has a lot to do with Grandma's strength and good attitude - As long as you are positive, anything is possible!

I am sitting with Grandma Fosh and she wants to tell you this: "This has been the most amazing two months of my life. With all new experiences, I learn something new everyday (and everyone should learn at least one new thing each day). Thank you all for caring and sharing in my life."
