Hair today..Gone tomorrow

Hello! Emily's cousin Bianca here. I would first just like to say thank you to everyone out there for all of your love, your support, your prayers, your gifts, your parking passes, your warm loving wishes..all of it. This family, my family, has appreciated every last drop of it. Emily is doing so great today. Her fever is gone, temp coming back down to normal and she will hopefully be back home tomorrow? Probably Sunday though. She is all smiles as usual, and the solid gold lining on it all is that she can bend her knee (a little bit) and feels very little pain. Her body and tumor are responding to the therapy!! On the other hand, just as promised, hair is going fast. So..Emily is taking control and shaving it all off tomorrow morning. Cancer is not going to tell her when she gets to lose her hair and I absolutely love and admire that. I could go on for days about my love and admiration for Em but I'll save that for my own blog. I'll just leave you with this...if you thought this gal was amazing pre cancer, get over it because she is 1000 times more incredible than any of us could have ever imagined.      


Peace, love, health, and happiness to all..

  2. Bianca, so glad you're there supporting your cousin, and helping her get through all this with a smile. Emily, you are amazing! I think it's great that you shaved your hair, and I hear Bianca got you some beautiful scarves. Wear them with pride.
    I am so sorry that you're having to face such brutal treatment - and chemotherapy is brutal, but it takes a hard fight to beat the beast, and I know you are doing it! You will see everything differently because of this,but from all I hear, you will make the most of it all. It's amazing that you're doing this blog. Now I have to go back and read the rest of it.

    Just so you know, you have friends in Seattle who love your family, all of you, and we are wishing for you and praying for you - in a synagogue, no less! It takes all faiths....

    Much love, we're with you all the way!
    Lisa and Steve Plymate
