It’s all pretty much common sense stuff. Just be careful and be sure to take the antibiotics I’ve prescribed as a safeguard. You’re going to have effects from the treatment that are pretty common but you also need to understand how to recognize an emergency situation should it arise. Be sure to contact your nurse advocate if you have any concerns. Do you have any other questions?”
“When am I going to lose my hair?”
“Dana hair loss is a known side effect of chemotherapy but it does depend on the type and also on the individual. While some women notice thinning others lose their hair completely. Some lose hair suddenly yet others notice a more gradual loss a few weeks after starting treatment. Sometimes eyelashes and eyebrows also fall out.”
Dana moved the fingers of her left hand which was now freed to touch her brows. She hadn’t thought about facial hair falling out. She listened intently as the doctor continued. Lara kept hold of her right hand which was in her lap. The feel was comforting and it anchored Dana without being too obtrusive.
“Dana I realize how emotionally difficult all the physical aspects of this disease can be which is why I strongly recommend that you take advantage of the many support systems out there. You have your partner, your family, your friends, your fans all of whom want to see you survive this ‘horrid illness’. It may also do you good to be surrounded by other survivors who have been where you are now and some that are going through it with you and yet others that are newly diagnosed.
Sometimes just talking to someone that has been there will help to give you some ideas or inspiration or helpful ways to get through some of this. For example some women prepare by getting a short haircut before or soon after they begin the chemo. There are a variety of hair wraps hats and wigs that are available to wear during chemo. Some women hold ‘hat parties’ and invite all their friends to bring them the most outrageous hats and they do a fashion show for them as they try to match outfits; some do the same thing with wigs.

Please reconsider Tina and Bette love again! I do not want no man in the history! Tina want jealous of other women look with desire to Bette!
pikiangelica. Thank you for reading and commenting. I promise Tina will not be with any other man for the rest of the story. No Henry in this one. Bette and Tina will find love again.
DANA has the three things in her life to beat this dreaded disease(1)family,(2)good medical care and the last one being the most important one(3) THE WILLINGNESS TO FIGHT. BETTE/TINA going on this trip maybe its going to shed light on why they both acted the way they have but BETTE better be prepared for the bombshell TINA will drop if she does but i hope it starts them on the road to recovery whether TINA tells her or not.Let them go at it ,full speed no stops along the way until absolutely nothing is left to fight about but everything to fight for.pps thanks
dunnthat. Thank you for reading and commenting. You are correct on both counts. Dana will come to appreciate all she has to live for and will fight for it. Bette and Tina will have it out. Nothing will be left unsaid. Be prepared as I will be yanking the scabs from every unhealed wound and forcing them to deal with it.
I’m still reading BAT if not always commenting.
You write so well and bring all the emotions off the page.
Thanks please keep posting
SassyGran. Thank you for reading. I love to hear from you whenever you have time to comment. This is definitely an emotional story, and it goes very deep. Wait until Bette and Tina get to the retreat. All the wounds will be uncovered and dealt with.
Hey Bat, just caught up with your last posts. Hopefully after her tryst with Josh and how it wasn’t at all what she thought it would be she can begin to think about what it really is that she wants. And if it is trying to rebuild her relationship with Bette let’s just hope that Bette’s really the better person and that she will be able to forgive Tina completely and not hold this over her every chance she gets as Tina has done so far with Bette’s affair with Candace. If they are both willing to rekindle their relationship they have to forgive each other and in Bette’s case I would say she too has to forgive herself and then let bygones be bygones, so they can start fresh.
Love the way you changed Dana’s story and that Lara in your story has the needed support and strength to not let Dana push her away for good. From now on it will be an uphill battle but it will be worth at the end.
Looking forward to your next chapters.
as1219. Thank you for reading and commenting. The experience with Josh will answer some questions for Tina as well as give Bette some understanding of what she’s feeling. I don’t see Bette as vengeful, at least not in the deliberate ways that Tina is. She’s trying to get them to a place of civility so punishing Tina would be counterproductive.
Guys! Bat, which is what I say positive message, you are doing it,
Dana become a person who will fight for your life.
“It is so worth the fight.” Ladydove, said it all.
As for Tina, you have to be honest with Bette and tell the truth
with what happened in Canada, because if they want to rebuild
their relationship, have to use siceridade because I believe that love all
forgive and only love can do is worth living.
The complete constellation.
So glad Tina and Bette are going to go to Vermont. So heart wrenching about Dana, thanks
