From Mama:
I paid my dues, took my shots, ate my red meat (ugh) and was allowed to receive chemo today. That means I have completed the first cycle!!! taaa daaa.
The session went well, and included the additional all around good time of getting some blood drawn for a cross match in case I decide I need a transfusion. Hmmm, not something I had anticipated, but apparently it happens.
Any advice from the masses for building up my blood counts will be appreciated.
Also, altho my hair has the formidable reputation of being some of the MOST STUBBORN my hairdresser Ronoldo has ever seen, it has finally been conquered by chemotherapy and I'm loosing it by the handfuls. So Ron has been enlisted to administer the Chemo Cut tomorrow. I'll try to remember to get him to snap a before and after pic, okay?
I will also begin another round of shots to help build up my blood counts.
Well, until next time!!
