I went to the oncologist today and got a very good report! He was very pleased at how my body took to the chemo. My blood count did go down, but nothing lower than a lower normal, if that makes sense. He said that the first round is always the hardest because they do not know how the body will react to the medication. But if the first round goes smooth, then the second should too. It isn't until the fifth and sixth that you start seeing the cumulative effects. My next round will start on Monday and it will be done out patient. I will be fitted with a pump and will have to come in every day for a new bag. I should be able to work while doing my treatment. This will be much better than stuck in the hospital for a week. I feel like this is going at a nice steady pace. The 21 days have gone by pretty quick and I am already ready to start round two. A little nervous about the pump issue, that will be a bit weird at first. Though he ensured me that it is completely safe.
Had a hard time this morning with the scarf. Instead of bad hair days it will be bad scarf days, haha! I hate that everyone looks at me and then gives me that look of pity. That will be something that is hard to get used to...
