My buzz cut didn\u2019t last long. I kept finding little hairs everywhere. My pillowcase was especially bad! So after Yom Kippur services, Aaron took the rest off. I have to say it actually looks better now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We discovered I have a scar on my head in addition to my CI scars; it must be from my 2000 accident when I was hit by a truck. Yes, I literally have felt like I was hit by a truck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The past several days have been much better; little to no nausea and no mouth sores. Thank goodness for the respite! Just fatigue and another side effect I didn\u2019t even know was one: watery eyes. My body is drying up, so that makes sense. What\u2019s depressing is I also found out that contrary to popular opinion, weight loss doesn\u2019t always happen with cancer. Weight gain is more likely. And if I end up menopausal, it\u2019ll be hard to get off. I\u2019m already at my heaviest weight, so that\u2019s just fabulous. I\u2019m trying not to think about it right now; I have to focus on getting through each day. If I\u2019m lucky, my migraines will be better if I go into menopause, which will make it easier to exercise consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, tomorrow is Round 2 of KCA, or Kick Cancer\u2019s Ass (thanks, Stacey, for the great acronym)! I start bright and early with bloodwork, followed by my port placement. Then I visit with Dr. Brufsky\u2019s team; they\u2019ll check me out and be subjected to a ton of questions. Around noon will be my chemo treatment. It\u2019ll be a long day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My parents came in Monday to see me for the first time since my diagnosis. It\u2019s been nice having them here for Yom Kippur. Aaron will take me for the morning appointments, and then my parents will tag team for my chemo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mom looked through her closets and brought all the hats she could find. I had a fashion show the other night; here are two of the funniest. The one on the left is a headband, not a full hat. Needless to say, they’re going back to Buffalo! Captions are from Doran. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
