The Good: Added bonus, started losing my hair big time on Thursday, prior to that nothing, then BANG, it starts coming out in huge clumps and my scalp is killing me... what happened to “gradual hair loss/ thinning”. I know, you’re thinking what’s so good about this... I don’t look as bad with short hair as I thought, and I may even be able to pull off a decent bald look.
The Bad: Had my 2nd round of Chemo yesterday, and my 2nd bone marrow shot... I still feel like this is a dream, only at night when everything is quiet and I have no appointments or phone calls to make does reality kick in and I know it's real and it scares the shit out of me, not literally but you know what mean...
The What the ??: Got a call this morning from my nurse wanting to know what was wrong with my pump... I actually had to think before I answered “I don’t have a pump”... nothing like feeling like a number, and a wrong number at that J
Lessons Learned: Even though I’m going bald I may be able to rock the look, I got hit with chemo/ bone marrow shot and I’m well enough to type, and the nurse who gave me my shot today treated me like a person and not a just a number, 3 friends called today to check up on me which always feels good, and things could be worse, I could have a pump, whatever that is!... so for the moment, life’s ok, and I’ll take that.
This blog - what an excellent idea! Yup, you probably can pull of the hairless look - and from what my friend Patti says, the up side is you also won't have to shave your legs!!!
