Day 154

Waking up is tuff this morning. I just wanted to stay in bed!

I'm starting to wonder if my hair falling out will slow down anytime soon. It comes out in small handfuls and at this rate I will go bald or so thin that I'll have to wear a hat or scarf.

I thought about a wig but I just can't see myself in one. Hummmm....can't really see myself in a hat or scarf either, so I guess time will tell.

I'm thinking about getting my hair cut even shorter. What does it really matter if it's falling out anyway?

I feel pretty good this morning....I'll have to go slow as fatigue seems to be visiting me when I try to move fast.

All and all Ducky is still hanging out! Thank god.


I'll go to bed early tonight just to make sure he stays!

Good Morning Laurie, I know from experience how easy you can burn while on so many drugs. Usually I have a nice tan by this time of the year but it just isn't worth the burning this year. I to am losing lots of hair and I just got it cut even shorter. The gal I work with says if it falls out to much to get a wig but I am just not a wig person. A scarf would suck too or a hat but at least it would not be as hot as a wig! This has been a hard week for me too, very very tired and even the nausea pills are not working well for me. It is getting harder and harder to get motavated to go to work in the morning. I just want to sleep but if I am in bed to long I end up stiff. The best vacation I had was with my sister in law who treated me to a cruise 7 days with no expectations just lots of time to rest in the sun, sleep, eat and play. I so wish I could go again. She was great we had no schedule or plans we just did what we were up to at the moment. Great memory for me! Have a great day Laurie! Rosie

Everyone usually imagines their own hair loss as worse than it really is. A lot of people lose hair from week 12 until week 36 or so, then some new hair sometimes starts growing back in. Try to get through the summer, maybe with a shorter cut. Wearing a wig, hat or scarf in the summer would be so hot.

Rosie,

A cruise! Yep that's just what we now right now. Minus the direct sunlight though.

Jimmy and I went on a cruise to Bermuda a couple of years ago. It was so nice, but we only had like one day in Bermuda. I'd like to fly out there and spend more time on the island. It was beautiful!

I hope you feel better today. Try to eat lots of small stuff. A bite here and there will help you out a lot!

Take care! Have a wonderful day!

((Hugs))
Laurie

Iris,

You're probably right....but I'm seeing my scalp and it freaks me out a bit!

Seems like it comes out by the handfulls after I wash it, so I try not to wash it as often.

At least it's falling out evenly and not leaving bald spots. That would be a disaster!

I might get it cut shorter. I don't know. Right now I can at least pull it back in a pony and it doesn't look too bad.

We'll see what the future brings.

Have a good day my friend.

((Hugs))
Love
Laurie
