So here I sit two weeks after chemo still fighting off an allergic reaction to the last round. On the last two chemo's I experienced a horrible rash that just won't leave. It's so itchy and uncomfortable. I have scabs all over from itching and bruises all over my legs from itching. I must have 15 bruises on my one calf and last time I had over 20 bruises on one thigh! Gross! I am glad it cooled off here so I don't need to wear shorts so these ugly legs are covered up!
I am still pampering my hair. It's still there so the cold caps seem to have done their job. I am still only washing my hair once a week as I still notice some shedding. I am just too scared to wash it more than once a week. I am afraid that too much will come out! Today it looks disgusting....really! I actually put a hat on to cover that up!
The interesting thing is that my hair has grown a ton during chemo. I need to "get in touch with my roots" badly! Lord it must be 1 1/2 inches of roots that need to be touched up. I guess this way people must realize it's my real hair - they can't sell wigs that look like this for sure! I am just shocked that my hair has continued to grow so much during chemo. Seems crazy to me.
I can't wait to wash my hair on Saturday...that's the big day for washing for me. I hope it stops shedding soon so I can color my hair again. For now I cringe when I see the roots...ick! Oh well...I keep reminding myself..."a bad hair day is better than a no hair day".......
