Hi everyone! I had my second chemo on July 31st. 10 more chemos to go! Almost into the single digits, yay! I'm feeling pretty good. My white blood cell count was very low. The normal is 1,500. I was at 690 when I went in. Yikes...Although the doctor wouldn't have done chemo on any other cancer case, he said mine is curable so he was going to go through with it - being a little aggressive. I didn't mind, I felt okay and would rather not put it off!
The next evening, I was running my hands through my hair and what do you know?! Clumps of hair coming out. I was expecting it at some point but I was still surprised! I went to bed and woke up the next morning with lots of hair on my pillow. Ugh. I called my friend over to shave it. I wasn't going to go completely bald, just wanted to go shorter. As much as I thought it was going to be very emotional, I did pretty well with it! I think my first haircut really prepared me for this moment. I wasn't pleased at how it looked so...well...I went a little crazy and my friend gave me a mohawk. Haha. I'll post pictures of course. Just having a little fun with different hairstyles...not like I can do this on any other daily basis! ;)
