Chemo #6 – Round 6

Well, I'm halfway to the end. This last Chemo session that was on September 3rd was just like the last three times, uneventful. I didn't gain any more weight. My Doc did mention if I want to look into getting a wig. She was asking me this with such a serious look and here I was trying my hardest not to laugh. It was a fantastic moment as I never thought I’d see the day when someone would ask me if I wanted to where a wig. Besides I don’t think they have Little Richard Chemo Wigs! The days after Chemo were the toughest this time around. I felt pretty horrible for a good eight days after the chemo. The symptoms I feel are mainly really nauseous and tired. I also was having trouble sleeping which I think made me feel worse the next day. All these symptoms do become better each day but it’s like you can’t do anything to help it. I have to keep on waiting it out trying not to think about it. Although I am not completely bald I am noticing my hair thinning out more everyday on some spots. My eyebrows and eyelashes seem to be thinning out slowly too.

My 7^th Chemo treatment is this Thursday September 17 and this will be exactly three months until my last treatment. Bring it!
