Chemo round two of six
Had my second round of chemo yesterday. It appears that my hair is starting to fall out quite considerably despite the cooling cap, as was suspected with this drug combo. You wouldn't know it if you didn't know me well as my head is still quite well covered (I usually have a LOT of hair) but those that do know me know how much it has thinned. And my family has seen the trail of hair around the house...lol
So I made the way to the wig shop yesterday to try on a few and bought a few headscarves etc. I'm anticipating that within the next couple of weeks I'm just going to say stuff it and shave it off. It will make life easier I think. Don't like the feeling of the cooling cap and it doubles the treatment time.
Don't let that turn you off trying it though if you are given the option. It works well for some, just not for others. :)
Did I mention I'm putting on weight? Not happy about that. Funny how I always associated cancer with weight loss but not with me. Weight gain it is. Yay (sarcastic). It just adds insult to injury doesn't it?
