Here I am, getting my 2nd cycle of chemo. Ken says my recollection of the side effects last time is a little skewed, so I'm hoping it's not so bad this time. Unfortunately, my nurse said it's probably the same each time. So I'm using my new port, and I'm so glad I got it. It makes the whole thing so much easier. But my hair is falling out by the handfuls. It's everywhere. I don't have any bald patches, but I've lost at least half of it. My sister talked to someone who said they only last hair that was under the port, so maybe it will stop falling out now. In the meantime, I'm going to be looking into wigs. I have a hat and a bandana wrap, but Kassy said I can't wear that one. It's a little bulky. I may just get this hair cut off in a pixie cut so it's not so devastating when it comes out in my hands and brush. We'll see.
I get a scan in 4 or 5 weeks, and we'll find out how the tumors are doing. The blood work looks good, and my blood pressure has been ok. Just a few high readings. That's all I have for now. If we get any news, you'll know when I know.
God is love.
Thinking of you, hope all is as well as can be, big hug Jane xx

ReplyDelete"Hope" - most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
We have Christ's powerful affirmation "You will suffer in the world. But take courage! I have overcome the world" (John 16:33)
