Chemo Journal Day 14

September 25-Day 14

Another great day filled with being “normal” and feeling fine!  “Normal” today meant Sunday school, church, Subway,  and outside playing in the hot weather all afternoon.  (I did get a little nauseous when MC and I were on the trampoline, but it was short lived.)  We also visited new baby cousin, Leah Brenn, then Kacy and William visited us and treated us to a Sonic milkshake.  It’s been a great day!

Note to self:  probably not a good idea to jump and roll and flip on a trampoline while on chemo.

The not-so-normal:  This morning, in the shower, many strands of my hair were coming out at a time.  I’ve noticed that I’m shedding way more than I typically do, but also wondered if I just was “looking” for it, anticipating my hair to fall out.  Today, it was most definitely more than typical shedding.  It’s odd, though, I’ve not had any of the skin tingles or chills that I had several days ago.  I’ve heard I’ll have a sore, tingling scalp before my hair actually releases.   “Ms. Wig Fitter” called me on Friday and said that the wig in the style I want, the Reagan, doesn’t come in the “marbleized brown” color that I want.  We’ll see what she comes up with…

Also, today I’ve noticed my skin has a couple of blemishes.  I’ve not had any sort of breakout since high school, so I’m assuming it’s gotta be the chemo.  (Not something I’m excited about.)  I may have to hibernate this winter.  No hair, skin blemishes…  Sounds lovely.

Overall Day 14- Aside from the mega shedding and high school skin, I’m great!
