I guess this means the medicine is working....

Yesterday at the end of Round 3 of chemo (that's 25% completion of first type of drug for those keeping score at home!) I did not feel well.  Pretty nauseous.  That nausea has continued to linger into this morning although no vomiting so it is still not all that bad.  I'm about to try a bowl of oatmeal and, assuming all goes well, will hit the elliptical soon after that.

For the past couple of days I've noticed some tingling and itching of my scalp.  I did not run out and buy Head & Shoulders, instead assuming this could mean the hair is starting to go.  And then this morning in the shower, a bit more hair than has been falling out came out.  And then when styling my hair this morning, more was stuck in my hands than before.  And now sitting here at my desk in the last half hour:


So it's going to happen.  A complete loss or just real thinning?  I'm not sure yet...but the realist in me says it's time to head to the hat store!  (With one of Greg's credit cards perhaps?)

And, yes, I'm crying.  I'll be fine, but right this second it sucks pretty hard....
