So the second week after treatment really isn't rough! I rarely have to take my anti nausea meds and I feel like myself again! With the small exception of fatigue and chemo still oozing out of my pores! (sexy i know)It's a welcomed relief that only half of the next 14 weeks will be spent miserable on a couch and the other half i can actually be creating and being productive!
My second Chemo treatment is going to be a busy nightmare of a day.. but I'll touch on that in my next post, or the one after. As for my hopes they are high! look at these lovely ladies out raising awareness for the boobyball! I've hit some rough patches with my first treatment but I'm thinking my second will be smooth sailing.. with a little loopy sickness... but no barfing! (it seriously doesn't happen)
Good news is my tumors are shrinking.. I don't have proof of this but I can feel it! Last weekend I had some EXTREME like even after heavy meds I was screaming kind of pain. Tumor pain is usually linked to tumor death and the shrinking of tumors.. and after those two days of torture the pain is now less and less! So the chemo is doing its job :D yay!
Also to come with my second treatment is the evacuation of my hair! I'm told it comes out in clumps like a globe.. or the creature from lord of the rings. I'm not about to deal with that, so I'm shaving it this saturday! It's hard to shave off perfectly good hair that is still attached.. but I know I'll be too sick to do it right after treatment.. so I'm going to bite the bullet!
I will also be getting my fancy shmancy wig! so I can still look like myself, and my fabulous pink wig will be getting cut shorter, because its far to long for my likes these days. Only 7 more treatments to go! and after Monday we'll be down to 6! February here I come!
Wish this control freak good luck! I'm taking control and going bald! *sob* I will miss you my blonde hairs.. we had 23 great years!!!
