Chemo treatment #2 update:
A lot of hair came out in the shower Friday morning… and continued to do so all weekend… there were lots of tears and breathing exercises, Jacqueline O’Kane (why can’t I tag you lol) came to my rescue and cut it for me so I didn’t have to keep pulling these incredibly long stands of hair from my head. I couldn’t shave it. Not yet. I know I may get there but this was traumatizing enough. If you know me, you know I hate my hair short so there’s several levels of trauma going on here.
Besides the hair, I think I made it through this one better than the 1st one. I was exhausted Sunday, but I’ve managed a system of keeping the nausea at bay and I was good on that front the whole time. Ensure shakes are where it’s at! Lol the neulasta seems to not have been so mean to me this go round… I am mostly just incredibly tired. Which I will take over being nauseous and in pain. I wasn’t sure if I would be ok to work today, but Dr T was really nice and didn’t give me a choice. She told me to stay home so I did.
2 more sessions with this drug combo.
