almost done.
I am almost done with round two. Fighting nausea right now. The coke and saltines helped a little bit, but it is starting to come back. Getting a headache too. Other than that I am so tired. It is hard to wake up in the morning, and trying to get through work has been hard. Today a representative from the American Cancer Society was at the cancer center today. She was really nice. She gave me a hat made by STAR, stiching to assist recovery, from the catholic church St. Rose of Lima. It is a cute hat. She also gave me a wig, a cheap wig, but hey it was free. I still have not made it out to the wig shop, they sure do not make it easy for people that work to buy wigs. The one she gave me looks nice, I probably need to get the bangs trimmed and it has been smooshed in a plastic bag. So, it needs help. As I was walking to the back to get my vitals taken, they were walking the healing dogs out. I missed the puppies. Mom saw them though, they had a full size poodle and one that looked like Fiona, my pom-chi, but two sizes bigger. It is so nice that they have these things for the patients and that there are volunteers giving their time to sit and talk to us. It means so much and another reminder that we are not alone. Today I met someone with stage four colon cancer. He is done with chemo treatments, but is going through another treatment. His keeps coming back in different parts of the body. The thing that got me, was that the whole time he was sitting there telling me his story, he was smiling. The smile never left his face, even when he was telling me things that I wanted to cringe at, he was smiling. It makes you look at things in another light...
