ok..so sorry I don’t know how to share pictures on here anymore!! Click on the link to see a picture of my new baldy hair style!!

The first time I took chemo it didn’t seem too bad. I was actually expecting it to be a lot worse. I felt like I had morning sickness and couldn’t eat for four or five days. I slept the weekend off and then I was good to go.

This time around it hit me a lot harder. We are going on Tuesday and I am 5 days post chemo and still feel like I got run over by a semi truck. I can’t eat anything more than applesauce. I’ve lost 15 pounds on the doctor’s scale.

When John got home from work lastnight I had a meltdown. I just couldn’t handle the pain and discomfort anymore. He gave me some Vicodin and some other of my meds to settle my stomach down and I went to sleep. I just hate feeling this way. I get up to go to the bathroom and it feels like I ran up three flights of stairs.

So today my sister and I are going wig shopping. I finally got the insurance company to cooperate and I will be getting one wig up to $500 fully paid for. I don’t plan on wearing it much because I will wear hats and scarves. It’ll be nice to have a wig for special occassions though

.I go back to work on Saturday morning. I can’t wait. I haven ‘t worked since Dec 29th. I am going to be working a daytime job because I can’t work midnights and take chemo. It’ll be so nice to be back!

Thanks for all your notes and best wishes. It really means a lot. If you want to keep up with me you can find me on Facebook. I am updating there.

Love,

Susan

Big hugs, my friend… I pray that it will be over and successful before you can think about it — the web address didn’t work for me.

Sorry but I couldn’t see the picture.Sorry to hear how sick you are from chemo.I wish I could take away the pain.

So glad to see you update. I’ve been thinking about you a lot. Hang in there, you’re 20% done.

So I just took a look at your picture and I think you look great!

I wouldn’t let me see your picture. Said I had to have a password. I know it was very traumatic for me when I had brain surgery and they shaved my head. It wasn’t vanity – it was that I felt naked. I couldn’t wear a wig, scarf or hat because the incision was so sore. I finally just went with the bald head. You are in my prayers. I hope you are able to return to work with no problems. ((HUGGS))

I love the pic, your smile is so beautiful!! So glad you can return to work!! It’s wonderful to see your update. BigHugzz.. :*))
