Chemotherapy #2

Last week was fairly uneventful, I was in some pain for a few days and it has been hard to sleep, but after the pain passed things were good. They told me at my mid cycle appointment that my counts were looking good.
Tuesday I had my second treatment, the normal 3 hour visit where they took a second set of blood counts, I met with the doctor, and then I got to hang out on an IV drip for 2 hours while they filled me with chemicals. My dad took me this time and got to meet the doctor.
After Chemotherapy was done we went to eat at Iggy's because I thought I wanted a hamburger, but about 2 hours later I was really regretting that when I started to feel nauseous.

I spent a few really exciting hours laying in bed feeling sorry for myself and then my aunt Katie came over and trimmed my hair a little shorter, plus we colored it which was nice because I think I had some grey hairs sneaking around, and I love a good fresh color. It looks great, we picked a colorant that made my hair really shiny so I'm very pleased with the results.

 The only downside, as evidenced if you look at the next image, is that I shed approximately a sink-full of hair at least twice a day. Strangely, my hair is thick enough that the thinning doesn't seem to be noticeable yet. I keep expecting to wake up with a bald spot somewhere, and it just hasn't happened yet.

 

Anyhow, I have a job interview today which I am quite excited about. I've moderated my anti-nausea medications differently this time so that even though I've been a little more sick to my stomach I've been able to stay awake more and that feels good. Here is to hoping my interview goes well!
