Hoping for better luck next week. I have gone in 4 times for chemo treatment in the last 2 weeks only to get turned down because my body isn't producing enough blood cells. Nothing I can do to get them up, just has to happen. It`s like a test in school, and I just keep failing. So frustrating...
And then, my body randomly decides to become allergic to band-aids. I developed a itchy burning rash around my porta cath. The more I scratch, the more itchy it becomes, it`s driving me crazy! Who knows what`s next. Hopefully things will start to look up for me, and luck will come my way.
On the bright side I finally found a wig that I feel confident enough to wear. Looks pretty similar to my normal hair. I tested it out today and told a couple people (who didn`t know me) that it was a wig and they were flabbergasted. Said they would never have guessed and thought it was real hair. It`s actually a new synthetic wig that I can use heat on to blowdry, curl and straight iron. A big thanks to Chanda for coming with me to help pick it out and put the final touches on it.
And way to go Realy For Life Team! We are the #1 online team for donations. Way to get a head start, it will be here in no time. We registered our team early so hopefully we win the earlybird draw for a pizza party the night of the relay. The draw will be taking place in a couple days on Big Dog. Again, it's a great thing for me to look forward to. This is my first year participating and I am just stoked to be involved in such a great cause. Next year I plan to join the committee and have a hand in volunteering and organizing.
