So Far, So Good
It’s Saturday afternoon and I don’t have too much to report, which is good. Compared to the first treatment, this has been much easier so far.
The main problem for me today has been a deep exhaustion that I can’t seem to combat. Part of that is caused by the fact that I woke up at 2:00 a.m. this morning (thanks to the steroids) and never went back to sleep. I finally got up at 3:30 a.m. and did some things around the house (very quietly). I tried to sleep again at about 5:30 a.m. but had no luck so I got up, had something to eat, and then I even did some yoga. I keep trying to take naps but I can’t seem to get into a really good deep sleep.
I’ve had no nausea today (which I am very thankful for), but I have no appetite and am trying to force myself to eat periodically to keep up my strength. I have very slight bone pain, but I’m not even taking anything for it because it’s hardly pain…just discomfort really.
And I’m still losing hair. It’s falling out everywhere now. Suzy’s on call and ready to come over and shave my head any time, but I’m not ready yet.

So glad to hear that you aren't having as rough a time this go-round. I had insomnia last night too- I got up at 4am and made meatloaf and watched TiVo till the kids got up!
Even without hair- you will still shine and sparkle like you always do- you can't help it!
Still praying for you each day!

You just do whatever feels right!! You're going to be gorgeous, even without your own hair.
Thinking of you!
