Chemo-Sabe




1. kemosabe

*Definition from Urban Dictionary
 
Many people refer to chemotherapy as poison or toxic...I prefer a more positive take on the medicine that is aggressively killing my cancer cells. 

I am 1/4 done with chemo!  My second round of chemo was pretty similar to the first round.  I was a little tired and out of it and my body felt sore.  It was not too bad and I am hoping that this is how my body will keep responding!

As promised, my hair started falling out about 14 days after my first round of chemo.  It was coming out in clumps and something had to be done.  Luckily, Bridget was in town visiting and Miguel is awesome with a razor.  Miguel shaved my head on Saturday evening and he and Bridget were amazing and supportive.  It feels pretty crazy to have no hair.  Overall, the experience was not too traumatic but I do notice that I don't really want to leave the house today. 

We had some fun during the buzz...
 
 
Here is my new day look...
