    Oh darn!! I have to pass on meeting up with you wonderful Jersey GirlsYell  Paramus Pk Mall is too far for me and lately I never know when I can get the car.  We are playing musical cars in my family these days because my own car is in for service waiting for a new engine.  Maybe another time we can have another one.  Chern, I still have no hair either!  I hate wearing my wig it's so hot, and I usually am taking my chemo cap on and off in the house depending on how chilly I get or if I'm getting any hot flashes I rip it off too.

    Shellyr25,  Hi,  my oldest daughter used to go to school in Rochelle Pk.  I am seeing Dr. Waintraub at the Cancer Center in Hackensack.  Is that where you go also?

    Why don't we also find some place for those more south of the Paramus area? Where does everyone live?

    shanagirl, I hear ya about the head wraps.  I have my thin wrap, the winter hats that look ridiculous on me, I am always changing them.  I drive down the street bald sometimes, I just dont care.  When the hot flashes come, ppl should be thankful I dont strip!  Laughing

    Who cares what others think? And if you avoid mirrors, it becomes all about how you FEEL and what makes you comfortable. IMHO

    EWB, Yes but stripping in public could cause problems~lmao.  You are just a hop skip and a jump down Rt. 80 for me.  Mapquest says about 50 Minutes.  Lets see who else is around us.  Are you going to lunch this Friday?

    Not sure, have to rearrange some other things and not sure if I can make it work. Yeah- I didn't think about the stripping thing, I was thinking about head coverings and other sorts of things we all seem to worry about. Although I suppose if you were at home......

    I have gotten way too comfortable with the bald thing I think.  If people come over I dont care most times, as I am always either HOT or FREEZING.  So I go from, bald, to woolly, to thin wrap, to bald, blah blah blah.  I have a wig, but really dont wear it.

    Hope to see you Friday, so far I think it is only 2 of us.  It would be great if you could come too!

    Yes, "interesting" is the way to put it...he came super highly recommended though...but I must say, he did not catch the interaction between the tamoxifen he prescribed, and the Zoloft and Wellbutrin that I was already on...
