Revenge of the 4th Infusion!

I know that chemotherapy works by building up in your system. I understand that it makes you feel a little worse each time while it builds up in your system. However, neither of these concepts were in my mind when I determined that when I woke up this I would feel better and be done with Chemo (cue more Barry!).

Foolish girl.

One would have thought by now I would have understood how this process works. I did not go to work today and I will not be going to work tomorrow (chalk up another first, calling in sick!). To say I have heartburn would be the understatement of 2012. Water makes my stomach hurt. Basically, I am currently in a holding pattern: drink water, eat something super bland, curl up on couch and take a nap. Boy, am I glad this is the last cycle. I can't imagine those folks who have had to do this for a year (or even more than 4 cycles). 

This one is worth repeating:


Also, some of my hair has grown back in and it is white. Say what? I've never even had a grey hair. Let's hope this pattern doesn't continue as it will all fall out again by New Years. What a long strange trip this has been.

  1. I think your hair just me be acting festive for the Holidays. Maybe you'll have a Mrs. Claus look going on!
