Black Friday!

Up early this morning - going in to work - never have been much of a shopper this weekend for me prior to the Gluten allergy diagnosis was the kickoff to my holiday baking season. Back in the day I would make upwards of 20 different types of holiday bake goods - much of which would be given to friends and family for Christmas gifts- my Dad loved the orange almond biscotti and would dunk it in his coffee. My love for cooking has not faded but in recent years I have not baked like I used to - I should get back into baking but Vegan and Gluten free!

Today I was on Pinterest looking at short hair - one of the side effects of Interferon is hair loss so while I have been growing my hair but with this on my horizon - I think that going back to the Pixie is prudent at this point. I still am a fan of Ginnifer Goodwin's short style but also loving Jennifer Lawrence's new hairdo as well!

I had a nice quiet pajama day yesterday and took a moment to absorb all that I learned last week about the cancer - and came to terms with where I am. Looking forward to finding out more on Tuesday and planning what my next steps are. More research showed studies with High Dose Interferon aka HDI for one month gave the same results as the 48 week dosage so definitely something to discuss, in addition to this study I did find that there is a slow release Pegylated Interferon aka PEG - IFN that is administered weekly so whether I need the 1 month or the 48 week - management of my treatment just got a little better. 

Well time for work - off I go

Namaste to all!
