Denise was very happy to learn from her pathology report that the primary site for the cancer (high grade papillary serous carcinoma) was in the fallopian tubes--rather than the ovaries--this is the better of the two.
The holiday was spent watching movies with the family and playing Wii Pictionary that Rileigh received as a Christmas gift.
During the last few days she has been pretty tired and not feeling as well as she would like. She still strives to take at least 1 walk every day despite how she feels. Today, it was beautiful walking in the sunshine under the georgous blue skies. We saw a red tail hawk soaring above while walking.
Dramatic and emotional event today--Danny cut off Denise's hair down to the scalp. Her hair has been falling out by the handfuls. She says she really feels and looks like a cancer patient now (I sensed a little denial still present.).
I gave her a very soft white stocking cap that I found at Kohls. So today I made a dash to Kohls to pick up a few more. Denise's friend Robin is lending her the scarves she used during her chemo treatments.
Signing off until tomorrow, Mom/Joan

Just finished one hat and working on more. Love you all.
We wish your family a Merry Christams and a Happy New Year! Remember that you have many cheerleaders that stand on the sidelines cheering you on to victory. We are there even if you can only see us in your minds eye. I can't knit, but I will look for some nice and soft caps for you instead!
You have such a cute nose, twinkling eyes and a sweet smile, I think you are going to be very cute in some of those hats. Still, sorry about the hair. It has to be hard. Glad Christmas was a good day and that you are having some nicer weather. Now we have the cold. Will be without a computer for a few days, will miss the news but will be sending energy and love your way.
We are pleased to hear that the fallopian tubes were effected rather than the ovaries. I'll bet you look really cute without your hair. Our thoughts are with you and we keep on praying for you...Love you.
