Hi Margie,
Thanks so much for my ((((big hug)))). I'll post above about my day in a minute but wanted to whish you luck tomorrow. a/c treatments are cumulative, like I've said and round 3 and 4 will be worse, but you can do it. I did. I shaved after round 1 but still had stubble till right after round 3. If you don't loose it you will be the second person I've known not to and I pray that you are!!!!!
Tell your onc. tomorrow about all those horrid side effects and MAKE him give you some stronger meds. Also, you are going to have to slow down more. By round three I was only working a few days during week two and three. If you slow down and rest more, your side effects may lessen. Mine did, the more I pushed myself the worse I felt.
Just keep up the good work and remember after tomorrow you only have one more to go. YEAH!!! Rads will be a breeze compared to what you are going through now and you will get a break in between to rest up and recoup.
Hugs,
Penny
