Hi sorry you have been feeling sick. I have actually had my 3rd dose and on the 17th june (just over a week) I have my 4th and final dose thank goodness. I was not too worried about the hair loss and got it shaved once it was coming out in clumps. I have a wig but actually prefer to wear my turban scarves, got some lovely ones off headcovers.com and ordered some more yesterday. so much nicer on my bald head! and they look pretty good. I have been "lucky" and don't get nausea (hope that continues for the last one) but get really fatigued. I have not had a rash - did have an allergic reaction which affected my eyes and have had to take claratine for that.
Maybe your oncologist will order the nuelasta injection for your next doses - mine did after the first one my blood count dropped dramatacally so I have had them now after each dose and it reduces the side effects by helping to build your blood count up.
enjoy your walk and try and keep positive. Our hair will grow back! I may even enjoy wearing hats in the future winters! its kinda fun.
have a good day.
