Some days it's best just to have fun

[Rexwayne]

Today I choose to just forget about the cancer and have some fun.

I have always tried to stay positive and find the good in the road I'm on. When I started hormone therphy I would joke about wanting to go shoe shopping and how I now sit and watch chicks flicks with my wife and I was the one doing the crying.

Now that I'm doing chemo I still feel the same. Before chemo started we had some fun. I asked my family and friends what colors they wanted me to dye my hair. So I went to blonde to red to grey to purple. Even put some spikes in it. After the first round my hair was falling out in clumps here and there. It really looked funny so I shaved it all off for a new look. I was surprised that many including me liked it.

Stuff like this with my faith in God keeps me going. On days that it is just to much, I try to simply turn it over to God and let him carry me through. Some days it's just best not to think about. Get out and enjoy life. Go have an adventure or just simply visit family and friends. Have a bbq. Remember life is ment to be enjoyed not endured.

Roy, You are awesome, what a great attiitude! That is what I strive for exactly. My hair started to grow back after cycle 6 while still on chemo. Your attitude makes it much easier for those that are close to you I am sure.

If anyone is starting chemo and wants to stop/vastly reduce hair loss, use the scalp cooling machines. They work, I lost less than 30% with 9 sessions of chemo.

A great reminder of the importance of finding pleasure in the moments of our lives. You show us that to a significant extent, we are in control of that. Thank you Rexwayne.

Great outlook! We must all take time away from things and focus on what is important: family; friends and the wonder of even being here. Perhaps you can upload a picture of your dye job.
