Well, I went to the doc today and got my biopsy results back. Its a stage 3 cancer, and the chemo will start in 2-3 weeks. This doesn't work out so well for me with the tour plans, but I'm buying tix for the Cleveland show at least on Leg 1. I hope I'll be able to meet some of you there. I should be easy to find ... I'll be the bald lady in the front row
i WISH i could make it out to the clevelnad show just to meet you at a pearl jam show! someday, it WILL happen, and i am holding you to excellent health to be certain it happens.
hope you are doing well my friend.
btw - i hope you have a BLAST at the show, balding or not....ya never know, it may not happen. either way, you are a most beautiful woman, inside and out.
Hippiemom, I don't know you but, just like everybody else here, I really want you to overcome this thing and go to a PJ show where you can be in the front with Eddie and Stone! It's cool to see a community of PJ fans who support you so much... have fun at the show.
I don't think Hippiemom was able to get tickets, if I read correctly earlier. Hopefully, someone will hook her up with some, or she can get them from TM. :(

I hope I didn't embarrass you, hippiemom, but I emailed10c about you.
I asked them to please give the Cleveland tickets to you...
There also will be people who can't make it to the show for some reason and they usually post it in the Porch.
That is what I am going to look for, too - in case the TM system didn't do justice for me.
You WILL go to this show, Laura.

I did get shut out from the Cleveland show, which sorta sucks because it's the only one my daughter can go to because the others are on school nights and out of town, and I already let her miss school to go to the London show last September, but when I couldn't get them I went ahead and bought tickets for Detroit, so I will see at least one show this tour. I'm a little worried about my energy level for driving to Detroit and then going to the show, since I'll be doing the chemo then, but I'll figure something out ... go up the day before or something. And there's always lots and lots of espresso, that works too
And like you mentioned, there will be people who can't go for one reason or another, I'm still hopeful that I'll get in somehow without having to resort to Ticketfuckers .... I really hate those guys, I always avoid using them when I can, but I don't think these tix will be available at the arena box office.
We'll see ... if I'm meant to be there, I'll be there. If not, I'll see you in the Motor City, and my silly bald head won't stop me from enjoying it thoroughly

I absolutely LOVE thhis attitude!
Also, I've known women who have undergone chemotherapy and lost their hair. I've noticed that when it grows back, its absolutely beautiful.

Hey, I got Detroit tix too!!!
Try to plan the treatments so the day of the show will be one of your better days.
Yeah, we are going to rock out the palace!!!
Woot!!!
I hope you feel good all the time, but especially long enough to enjoy the show!!!
You know, I seem healthy when people just look at me, but I have this whole set of issues when I go to a show or anything like that. Sound and lights trigger my seizures..I use earplugs and sunglasses sometimes. I have huge energy problems...and I sit when I feel I need to.
To hell with what anyone around me thinks...I am not going to let my illness stop me from enjoying what I want.
Hi Hippiemom, I haven't been on the MT much lately, but I just wanted to express my admiration to/for you. Ironically, I was going to do it several weeks ago before this thread developed, and never did. That thought was prompted by your posts here, which are usually very rational, lucid and informative. I've always appreciated them.

I had a silly bald head once and I wore it with pride, like some kind of anti-cancer warrior, and I have a feeling you will do the same.
I still think that the outpouring of love and support on the board is one of the most awesome things I have ever seen. You are truly loved and respected by so many, myself included.

Hehe... funny you mentioned that.
Hubby and I were just talking about shaving my head off the other day...
I said I'd do it if I was in a... um, let's just say "better" shape.
He thinks I could pull it off. hehe
I think I might just let my hair grow some more and then shock the shit out of everyone.
I've done this before...but not shaving my head, though. My hair was down to my buttocks and had it all cut off short like Charlize Theron's hair in one of her movies, I forgot what it was called.. but she looked so good with little hair that it inspired me to do so.
Unfortunately, I looked like a lesbian to a lot of people. My sister cried. :rolleyes:
It's truly amazing how people's behavior and persective of you are based on your HAIR.
Fucking hair, people...or none.

I know so many men and women that have been on chemo, and really, once they release the worries about being bald, then it's really freeing.
When I was on chemo, I finally shaved my head when my hair started going, and then when it wasn't really growing at all, it was actually cool to just get up, wash my head and go! :cool:
Well I've sent Kat a pm too... I think it would be wonderful if they could do something but maybe it's just not possible.
Laura, I know a girl who shaved her head for charity so maybe you can just tell people you've done the same
And since we mapped our route for next year, Cleveland IS on it so I hope you're fit for those rollercoasters
The Astoria??? Orgazmic!

I'm not worried about being bald, I really couldn't care less. I've always hated my hair anyway, it will be one less thing to have to fool around with every day, and maybe it will grow back better than it is now.
Love the picture! I hope you'll be able to hit Cleveland and/or Detroit, I'd love to meet you!
