A Good Week

Nice weather around here...almost feeling like an early start to that summer feeling we get on the Cape around this time of year. Supposed to be nice weekend too - always helps the spirit to have some nice weather.

Pretty good week for the newly treated patient; I felt really good all week, got a lot of work done and am really optimistic for the next few months. Also was able to get out to the Cape Cod Young Professionals event last night and catch up with a lot of friends from around here, never mind hearing Rich Brothers' entertaining speech on the Cape & Islands United Way (shameless plug as I am a board member...visit the site and give!) and his own path to success.

My next treatment is Wednesday, but the prep work starts Monday with blood-tests, Tuesday I meet with my oncologist, and Wednesday it's back to the lab for my slow-drip chemo.

Mom deserves a good Mother's Day this year, it's been a rough year since last Mother's Day - we're going to do it Pot-Luck style at my folks place on Sunday and I'm sure it'll be a great time.

Here's my next thing to worry about; peladophobia. Since I may start to lose my hair soon, I started looking around, and was dismayed to find out there's an actual phobia surrounding bald people?

Your fear of bald people can result in the following symptoms:breathlessness, dizziness, excessive sweating, nausea, feeling sick, shaking, heart palpitations, inability to speak or think clearly, a fear of dying, becoming mad or losing control, a sensation of detachment from reality or a full blown anxiety attack.

So, if I lose my hair I will have to keep on the lookout for peladophobics acting up in my presence, could make for a dicey scene in a public place.

Hey, I do what I can to keep laughing...enjoy your weekends.
