We saw Dr. VanderWoude to get test results and chemo info. The nodules in my chest are the same and the lymph nodes are smaller.
However, the lymph nodes in my pelvic area have enlarged a bit. So, she knows there is active cancer there and it seems rather aggressive. So, this is what chemo is for. 1 day of treatment (about 4-5 hours) and then a shot the next day. Three weeks until the next session.
I will lose my hair about 14 days after my first session.. and the Dr. said it will just all fall out.. just like that.. ONE DAY.
SO weird. I'm having issues with this. I don't care if I get sick or whatever.. but the hair. It's been the one thing about myself that I've always liked. I know it'll grow back. It just pisses me the fuck off.
I need to gnaw on some wood or something. SPITTIN' MAD!
My aunt, step mum, and mum all lost their hair. When it grew back, it was thicker and more beautiful. I know that probably won't make you feel better, just a little tidbit of info. :)
ReplyDeleteIt DOES make me feel better, actually. Thank you! :D
