I'm such a stupid girl...
I’m such a stupid girl
So yesterday I was running my hands through my hair (which is a cute/short/punky kinda cut now) and a good size chunk came with it. Now to me as a hairstylist it is a chunk, to you, it probably isn't because it didn't leave a bald spot. It was probably only 8 or 10 hairs but it freaked me out. I pulled at another part near my neck and this time, it was a nice chunk and I didn't really have to pull at it to make it come out. So my hair is starting to fall out. It really sucks because Ed is coming back in two days and I wanted to still look pretty when he gets here. I probably will, because I am going to be as gentle as I can. The way I style it helps to, because it's messy and easy to hide any bald spots that may show up.
Other than that I really haven't had any of the side effects that they talked about. The first few days I tired very easily and felt like I had a constant hangover. Last week I had a severe case of heartburn that turned out wasn't heartburn, but a side effect from the shot they gave me after chemo. It was pain from a build up of bone marrow in my chest. Sometimes the shot can cause that and they just happened to forget to tell me that when they gave it to me. The 12th is when I go in for another round of chemo, hopefully it will be as easy as last time. Keep your fingers crossed!

You are so beautiful and always will be, who needs hair anyway? You are gorgeous and better not think of yourself in any other way, I love you so much :)

Hi Missy,
Think of you often.
Beauty is from within. Who cares what you look like.
A person can lose their looks at any given time.
You are so admired for your courage.
My friend, who went through what your going through, bought a cap that had hair attached to it. Looked rather cool.
I believe they have them at Fittings Unlimited.
When she would come to swim in my pool she would be bald and no teeth. She had a partial but could not wear it while getting chemo.
Need I tell you what she looked like?
Didn't matter. She still was the same person in the inside.
Hair, who needs it. Its such a bother! I just washed mine and now have to dry it and curl it. What a pain! :-)
Hang in there!!
Love,
Barb
