I didn't prepare myself for how painful losing my hair would be. The first round made my hair follicles tingly, but this time each follicle was on fire! It was a burning pain. Sherwood shaved my head for me. That took the pain down a couple notches which was very helpful! It was quite a shock to see myself for the first time in the mirror. I still can't really look at myself with patchy stubble all over my head! Not the greatest look.
My next round is Dec. 27th. Hopefully I will have a good couple of days to enjoy with my family before I start it all over again.
Thank you Dr. Lewis for highly recommending the port-a-cath! It's made the awful a little more manageable. Not having to get poked makes it better!
I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! May you hug your loved ones a little tighter, realize you are blessed a little more and have a larger measure of peace this time of year!!!
Hugs,
Becky
You are still so beautiful Becky! I love your courage through all of this. It amazes me.

ReplyDeleteHey I've tried posting a comment and haven't been able to, but I think I have worked out the kinks! Thank you for posting! You look great even if you don't feel great. The loosing of hair is always harder than you think it will be. And it's not that you care about the hair. You know it will grow back. I guess it's a physical manifestation of what you are feeling on the inside. Having Sherwood there with you...I'm sure it's something you will never forget. We are praying for you.
