[Posted September 9th - [link] - just cross posting...]

So I finally started my chemotherapy yesterday. It was some 4.5 hours, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. For the most part I was just cold and slightly queazy. I did get more nauseous as I got home but I got some meds and ginger tea/candy helped bunches.

I haven’t been eating as much… just can’t stomach the thought.

Nurse told me that one of my chemo drugs (I take two) is the one that makes me crazy nauseous and that I will probably feel the side-effects for the next seven days -oh joy!- I said… “It can’t be worse than having morning sickness all day.” It’s not. It’s more annoying.

Had my second session today. It was only two hours. Tomorrow is my last session (another two hours) and then I’m done for the month.

I’ll be going back October 6th for my second round of chemo. Will probably lose my hair then… I’ll be rocking though. I look good in any hair style and I always wondered if I had a pretty head. I’ll be sporting the baldie for a while but it will be much fun to play with. Then I get some new hair and I’m hoping its as pretty as my daughter’s.

I will go back to work next week -thank GOD!- I’m not one to stay at home all the time and just do nothing productive. Work will keep my mind off things. So all it’s all good. Everyone there is understanding and I’m sure the change in atmosphere will do my soul some wonders. I’m a little apprehensive though, since it’s been a long while since I’ve worked, but I’m sure in a week or two it will be just like old times and I’ll be kicking some major booty.

Anyway… all in all, things are good. Or as good as they are gonna get. I’ll take it one day at a time and see how I feel later on.

I’ll keep you all’s posted – XOXO
