The Tree Report
For My Vic-TREE (Victory) TEAM
Monday Feb. 9th, 2009 - After My 2nd Chemo


Weeeeeellllll, The Sat. and Sunday after Chemo weren't the best. But again, I managed to press forward with Grace, for the most part. You know you are feeling the worst FATIGUE and nausea in the world when you spend a whole day in bed without even caring about showering. Yuck!!!
I slept a great deal. I'm trying to listen to my body, even though I don't always like what it seems to be saying. The sun was shining today (Monday), the weather was beautiful as you know---SOOOOOO Mandy and I went out on our very first outing. You remember Mandy--- (my newwig)! They say that we would never worry about what other people are thinking of us, if we realized just how little they were actually thinking of us. At first I felt self-concious until I realized no one really seemed to care.

Funny Story-- Once I returned home, my sister called to say, "Tree, did I just see you out driving???", to which I replied, "Yes, Mandy and I went for our first drive together,", to which she responded, "WHO???" DUH??? She said, "Really Tree, when I saw you, I forgot al labout the whole ---bald head wig--- thing, I just saw YOU! That's Cool!!!!

Many sweet and kind people who have had wives, sisters, mothers go thru their own B.C. journey are now sharing their wigs and head covers with me. How grateful am I? The guys at the Chemo palace do call me "Thefashionista" so I can't let them down can I???? Would you expect anyting different from me??? Really!!!

Thank you for your continued love, care, support, Food, Flowers, cards, letters, e-mails, phone calls, angels, gifts of love and more.

Most Gratefully yours, CEO and Founder Vic-TREE TEAM
Theresa, TRee, SFI remain Positive, Hopeful and Crazy!!!
