Chemo infusion 3

Tired today but 3 down and 5 more to go. Have a little headache that has started a few days ago which is a bummer trying to stay on top of it Advil or Tylenol? Not sure popping the meds again strange to put soooo many different meds into ypur body at the same time. How does your body know what to do? Amazing body I am going to do a short short walk with my dog and then nap before kids come
Home :) thanks to all my support from everyone. I really appreciate all the love

GOOD GOOD HAPPY DAY

Feeling good today.....going to take my beautiful dog out for a walk.....yeahhh.....2 more days until my infusion number 3........so I am enjoying my good times I have right now.....I just read something interesting about chemo and breast cancer.....a lot of women on chemo for breast cancer put on weight because they eat bad.....hummmmm.....that is totally what I am doing eating bad food, well kind of bad food, not food I usually eat.....ie-white bread, plain bagels sometimes with butter, and a little donut yesterday.....weird I crave bad things....I probably put on about 2-3 lbs since I started.....lost some the first week when I couldn't eat but now that the meds are under control....food is ok....and white starcheeeeee food is what I crave.....uggg....BUT article said I can't worry about my weight issue right now....when I get thru with this...I am sure my "good craving" will come back.....and COFFEE is still NOT what I drink anymore....that is my most FAVORITE food :).....(not really food)....Chemo does strange things to me.....
Off on my walk with my best friend Hudson......he will be happy to have me back
-ME

Went to the driving range today....first time in a long time

Took the girls to hit some golf balls and I HIT SOME TOOOOOOO......yeahhhhh.....fun and felt good.
I am getting nervous about my next infusion but really working hard to keep myself occupied and not think about the next one.
Nice to feel the sunshine on my face and swing the club again....I actually could drive the ball.....yeahhhh

The cancer society said I was 25 percent done.....ugggg......sounds......like a little amt.....I am shooting for April as my month to shoot for.......so.....apples are my new favorite food....they taste sooo good and make me feel somewhat normal

Having a hard time with hair loss.....my girls love rubbing their fingers thru the hair but when I look at myself I look sad.......ugggg...this is hard

Hair gone :(

Shaved hair today...cried and cried and cried.......ugggg...this is hard

Feeling not as bad after this past chemo session....not as "puckeeeeeee" as my doct calls it :)
I didn't thinking losing my hair would be so hard BUT....my 6 year old giggled, jumped up and down and rubbed my head and smiled.....she said she liked it :)
That made my heart happy.
Kids.....sure make the world a better place
