Checking in.
Doing okay. No nausea since that first week, and the pain has dulled in my feet. It's still there, but not keeping me from doing things.
The last four or five days, though, I've really been losing my hair. I have to stop and clear out the brush after every single pass, and today has been the worst so far; it came out in wads this morning. There's enough to still cover my head, but barely. I'll need the hat within a few days, here.
My bathroom garbage looks like I tore apart a wig in it.
Making dinner today; hubby turned 40 on Friday, and requested meatloaf. Got my mom to bake the cake this morning, so I'll do up dinner in a couple hours.
Coming up this week:
1. Chest CT scan with contrast on Wednesday: apparently it's a common test with diagnoses like mine, to make sure there's no stray cancer frolicking about in my chest. Not afraid of the test, but we're hoping there's no evidence of little cancer demons prancing around in there, the fuckers.
2. Chemo Day #2 on Thursday: A friend is coming that day to spend time with me during infusion, so that will be nice.
3. Baby sister gets married in Vegas on Saturday. Mom and Dad are leaving very early Thursday morning to fly out there, and on Sunday they'll head out to California to spend 6 weeks with middle sister and her family.
Hope everyone's had a good weekend!
