Where did I leave off?!
I was in the shower tonight and shampoo is actually starting to lather in my hair! It is growing back in horribly with a dark strip in the front, also looks black like when I was born. Just great. There is a couple reasons why it is growing back so early. Chemo treatments are only supposed to be 3 weeks apart but because of my low blood cells they have been on average, 5 weeks apart. So when the drugs wear off, my hair grows back. With my last treatment (which was April 19th) my dose was almost cut in half because they thought it was too strong because of it killing my blood cells. So, anyway, it is growing back and on these hot days I am becoming more courageous not to wear a hat.
Our team has been busy fundraising for the Relay that is coming up in a month. We had a jeep run and bbq in April, and 2 yard sales so far. Thank you to my cousin Ang who sold tickets on a Mother's Day basket in Halifax and donated the proceeds! We are in 3rd place online with donations!
I still have 2 chemo treatments left. My next treatment was scheduled on my birthday last week, but surprise, it got delayed. Trying again this Thursday.
I will leave off here for tonight, hopefully it won't be as long until I write again.
I hope you are resting in peace today, Grampy. Happy Birthday.
Half of our Relay Team
