Well, treatment 2 was last Tuesday. In all I wasn't as intensely sick those first few days for which I was grateful, but the length of time is about the same. Still not feeling great.
The big milestone or obstacle of this week has been hair loss. A week ago yesterday, I began noticing that I was loosing more hair than normal. Each day there was more. By Thursday it was coming out quite plentifully. It was a weird sensation, I would run my hands through my hair and it seemed to just release. I usually did this over the toilet bowl and it would be covered with dark hair. However, the gray seemed to come out first. For whatever reason, it wasn't hard for me to have this happen. It seemed easier to see it getting thinner. Thursday night Shawn shaved his head in support for me, but I wasn't ready. By Saturday, my hair was looking pretty thin, so I wore a hat when Suzanna and family came. Sunday morning even more was gone, so I asked Shannon to take the rest off. I was pleasantly surprised to see me without hair, but I am not used to it yet. I have a wig, some soft hats, and have ordered a couple more to wear outside. So I am sure I will find what works best for me. I will post some pictures too.
Thank you for your prayers and support.
