"jack" received dose # one niner today!
only 11 more to go!
somebody say SUCKEGGDAWGGG
so while i am blogging this journey - that includes taking pictures ya know. i took some pictures of the back of my head last friday because i could not believe how well my hair was growing back in...... even though it is not my choice of color (they say it comes in gray no matter the age so don't be judging!!) .... i was thankful for the growth knowing that one day it would meet my hairstylist.....
WELL..........
saturday morning -
90% of the hair that i was thankful for the day before -
fell out by the handfuls....

it did not take me by surprise since i was prepared that
radiation causes your hair to fall out (to some degree).

| friday on the left ~ saturday on the right there is even more baldness today (thursday) |
i have to admit though - it did set me back emotionally....
yes, i cried for the few moments that i sat
by myself with clumps of hair in my lap.
i could only think....now i seriously look like the "backside" of a baboon!!

my hair has continued to fall out the last few days.
even my long hair (front, sides and back) and is thinning....
i can still pull it back in a ponytail and you would never know of this
bald spot I speak of..... but how boring is that.

now momma really does need a weave.
y'all just wait and see what i come up with.....
seriously - someone call kenny and tell him that i have changed the title
to one of his songs from
to one of his songs from
"no shoes, no shirt, no problems"
to
"no shoes, no hair, no problems" !!
to
"no shoes, no hair, no problems" !!
while waiting in the large room to be called back for treatment -
you get to know one another after a while.
i met a dear lady, Linda,
battling a very rare form of cancer. today was her last day of radiation.
she walked out with a huge smile on her face and a tear in her eye.
i just wanted to cry for her.
her husband, daughter and son-in-law were there with her to support her.
we exchanged contact info and i hope to keep in touch with her.
she lives two hours away - we talked about meeting half way
somewhere for lunch one day.
i gave her family a big hug before they left and i pray that
they will stay positive and be full of strength.
she has to beat this - i just know she will!!!
i do have a confession..... i did drive two times the other day (to radiation treatment and then to the store) and wouldn't you know that i got busted both times...... no - not by law enforcement but even worse..... my neighbors the first time and then by randy and bill the second time (all three of us were at the same intersection at the same time - seriously - i did not see them, but they saw me) ..... i promise not to do it again, but i had no choice. oh but boy did it feel good to be free.
it is so frustrating being fully capable to drive and just because of a doctor's restriction due to ONE seizure.....i can't drive for six months. come on april!!
just amazed at how many of you care enough to still check on me,
message me, text me, call me.... to see how i am doing.
