Yesterday I noticed a little hair in my bathroom sink. I figured it came from my brush. I also noticed that I had eyelashes in my
glasses but it really did not register.
Well, last night I looked in the mirror and noticed that I had patches
missing in my head. I immediately told
Tawanna (my friend for over 30 Thug Years) who was staying the night with me in
order to take me to Chemo tomorrow. She
looked at me and said you are still beautiful.
This morning I shampooed my hair and used my styling
cream. I immediately looked at my hands
to see hair in my hands. I was totally
shocked. I began to brush my hair and it
was coming out in the sink. It finally
hit me that the lashes in my glasses were actually falling out and the hair in
my sink was not from my brush but from my head.
I am now in the full throws of chemo.
The side effects of chemo have been different for me. Many lose weight, become nauseous and have
little energy. I am the complete
opposite. My insomnia is worse, my
appetite is the same and I have gained a total of 10 lbs. This is very upsetting for me because I am no
longer the active individual I used to be. However I will continue to thank God that the
cancer was found when it was and that I am in great spirits. I believe that in order to beat anything you
have to have the fortitude of a fighter.
Again today is treatment number 5 and I have prevailed and
am feeling great. Until I chat again, always
remember that this is MyKatWalk through cancer as I am NOT going to live here.
