I’ve got to say that although I was apprehensive about the whole wig thing, I’ve been wearing mine for a couple of days and it’s actually kind of nice. I mean, I can get it ready the night before, and by get it ready I mean I brush it out and just put it up. Also, since I have very little hair to speak of, I don’t have to screw with putting my hair up when I exercise or do my morning stuff, AND my infamous 5 minute showers (I’ve timed myself) are now 3 minute showers, since I don’t have anything to shampoo or condition and no body parts to shave. I have managed to keep my eyelashes and eyebrows because my nurse told me about a cream (Brian Joseph’s) that helps keep them in, so we ordered some and so far, so good.
Today I went to get lab work done so they could see if my platelet, white blood cell and magnesium levels are good enough to get my second dose of chemo. I’m praying they are so I can go ahead and stay on schedule. I don’t want to extend my treatment any more than I have to. But I feel fantastic, no bruises, and the one scratch I had healed fast so I think they’re probably fine.
