We just got home from chemo number 2 and everything went fine. We met with Dr. B to review how the first treatment went and he gave me some new meds to try to prevent the nausea. My blood work came back fine so we were able to go ahead with the treatment and that went just fine. I am not as tired as I was after the first treatment and I feel fine.
When I got up this morning I was shocked to see how fast my hair is coming out. When I put shampoo in my hair I pulled out handfulls one after another. I just pulled it back with a headband today and tried to leave it alone. Bret and I will cut all of it or most of it tomorrow so I can work with the wigs a little this weekend. Everyone at work knows what is going on so I know they will be very supportive when I come into work with my new wig on next week.
I am going to take advantage of these next few days to catch up on my rest. The agent training that we did this week went perfect but I know that I worked way too many hours. We don't have anything else planned like this in the near future so I can just settle back in to my normal routine.
I appreciate everyone's support this week....I dread the idea of looking in mirror and seeing myself bald but so many of you have called or emailed to tell me that you love me with hair or without hair and that is what I have to keep telling myself...I thank God for your continued support!!! THANKS!!

Thursday night - Steve and I went to see Uncle Mac at St. Vincent's today. He is much better and we chatted quite a while. They still won't let him go home but soon hopefully. Sounds like you're hanging in there. We'll see you next week. Hi to all. Nancy.
So glad this one wasn't as bad!! What a relief. Try not to think about the hair too much.
Put your feet up and let things handle themselves.

I'm glad yesterday is out of the way for you and hate what you have to go through with your hair! Just remember what I told Jillian, mommy's old hair will be back by summer! Worked for her and you have to just keep telling yourself this is temporary and it is necessary for what you want to accomplish! I'll check in on you later!
Love, Kay
Hi Jan - so glad to hear things went good yesterday. I think about you all the time! Take it easy this weekend - put Bret to work! :) Know that I love you! Sue
Glad round two is over!! And glad it wasn't as brutal as the first round!! Keep up the positive attitude and try to stay positive about your hair loss. I know it's a traumatic thing, but like Kay said, it will be back and more beautiful than ever by the summer! Relax and enjoy your Thanskgiving holiday. Talk to you soon!! Love, Linda
