Well I had my first round of chemo today. After long deliberation, I decided not to use the cold caps after all. I have been lucky to connect with a gal who is going through the same thing I am, and she let me borrow them...after much thought-I just didn't want to deal with one more thing... It took a weight off my shoulders knowing that nature will just take its course. For those who may not know-cold caps can help you from losing your hair... I don't have a connection with my hair-and I know I will lose it-and I'm okay with that. Sure-it will be dn adjustment-just like having no boobs has been... But I'll be fine... Not sure is I'll do wigs-but hats for sure;)
So the chemo room is set up in a very open way-I ended up going back to a private room which felt more comfortable for me-especially since this was my first time... Chemo went fine, and I left 5 hours later feeling just fine-a little tired, but good;)
So here we go...
I think I'll go get a really short haircut this weekend so that when my hair starts coming out it won't be as drastic...thankfully my sis can do that;)
Oh, and a visit from my new neice right after my IV went in was just perfect;)
Thanks for the continued love and support-means the world to me;)
LOVE LOVE LOVE you !
