Hair Today; Gone Tomorrow...

... Right on schedule -- DARN!   

The doc said it would happen right about the second chemo treatment, which was 2 days ago.

Well, I still have a head of hair, but it is thinning pretty darn quick. Just this afternoon I brushed my hair with a clean brush. It came out full of hair, like you would find after a month of not cleaning your brush. Then I was on the phone and pulled my hand away to find about 20 full strands stuck between the phone and my hand. So it is happening..... 

The itchy scalp has the slight feeling of ants crawling on my head, as my friend Joan told me was her experience. So dear Donna may not make it out in time to help me with this transition. But Mark is good at shaving his head, so I know he can do mine. She will need to help me learn how to be creative with a scarf, or help me paint my head, or something fun and silly, as we sisters can be.

Stay tuned.

But the good news is that the side effects from this second chemotherapy treatment have been very mild and manageable. Now the hair...... Damn it, anyway!!!!

I guess it is all part of the journey and just another way for me to come out stronger.
