Dan and I have been talking to Michael about what is happening.
We had the cancer talk last week.
Today, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Michael really was listening -
We were at the dentist today and Michael was watching while I was in the chair.
The hygenist asked if I had any health changes since my last visit - so I told her that the cancer is back.
Michael chimed in and said something like this -
"yea, the cancer bugs are back in mommy's body. the medicine is gonna fight the bugs, right mommy?"
then he made a noise like he was play fighting.
I couldn't have been more proud of his explaination - he really got it.
...
This week I am getting ready to begin the next round of treatment.
I have three more radiation treatments left - my back is finally beginning to feel a little better.
My hair will be very short and sassy on Thursday - I will try and post pics -
my port gets put in on Friday.
Next week is when it all begins.
I just hope that I can get my head in the right place before then.
Morning Chelsa,
Your blog is very powerful and it speaks to the strength of its writer. Sara and I (and Hank) are ready and able to do our part as new neighbors. Just know you've got prayers and support right across the lane.

Dear Chelsa,
Lenelle told me about the return of your cancer. I am so sorry to hear you have to gear up for another battle. We shared nearly the same diagnosis and treatment- we met at Tickled Pink with Lenelle two or three years ago.
My prayers and love are with you as you move forward.
Dana

It sounds like your head will be where it needs to be by "then" ... a short, sassy haircut is a proactive step ... and it's a good look for you! And I love the visual you gave us of little Michael fighting those cancer bugs!! We will all love you through this ... Mama Hope
