I'm feeling a little like my old lab, who was a champion shedder. Since last Thursday, my comb has been harvesting more than the usual amount of hair with every pass. The result is a thinning head of hair. I was pretty ok with it until yesterday when someone commented on my thinner than normal mop, making me a little more self-conscious than I care to admit. So today I wore a hat to work. Hats and scarves are in my future, friends, so I hope I can learn how to tie a decent-looking scarf. I'm still waiting for my hair to come out in clumps -- that hasn't happened yet. But when it does, I'll be shaving my head bald. I think it's too much to ask that I have a great looking bald head, so I'm going to save my wishes for better hair when the new crop grows back.
Other than the shedding and a little lack of stamina, I've been feeling great! This is my second week back at work, and things are going well. My second round of chemo is this Friday, so I'll be home again next week dealing with the side effects, which I hope will be as tolerable as the first round. Fingers crossed!
