Can't believe it has been about 5 days since I last posted. Not much has changed except my hair is REALLY starting to come out now. Its funny I was initially prepared for it to come out, then people started saying "oh maybe you won't lose your hair" and I got that in my head that maybe I would not lose my hair, so now that it is truly starting to fall out I'm a little bit panicked.
I've got a phone call in to my Ins company to find out how much they cover for a wig but like everything with ins companies it's taking them forever to get back to me. I don't even know how much I want to wear a wig...I'm thinking it will be itchy but I guess I would just like to have the option. Especially for any events that may come up with Pauls school or other activities.
Some of the "old" I mean "sassy" High School girlfriends came by for a visit on Saturday which was very nice. Although while the girls were drinking Cocovino, I was drinking diet pepsi and when they left I was wired and up till about 12:30. Normally this would not be to bad cause I can sleep in on Sundays but it was Cub Scout Day at Church, and lets be honest, figured I should probably start putting in some face time at Church. I was so proud of us for making Mass. Husband had to work, so Paul and I went alone, but we'll take work whenever we can get it.
I go back for actual Chemo treatment on Wednesday...totally not looking forward to it but know it must be done. Maureen and I are going to try and plan a little bit better this time. Maybe get more than 5 hours of sleep prior to and perhaps eat breakfast before we go instead of our usual coffee and muffins. I'm nervous that I'm going to feel the same way I felt last time, but I have to keep telling myself that it passed after a few days or so. Starting to feel pretty good on a regular basis so I just don't want to go back to feeling yucky again.
I'll try and post from my actual appt if I can on Wednesday, if I don't post at all on Wednesday you know I'm feeling like poop and I'll post as soon as I'm able to.
Thanks again for all of the support. I'll try and take some photo's if I get to wig/hat shopping this week...should be good for a few laughs :-)
XOXOXO - Barbara
