Went to get the bloodwork done for chemo this morning (wearing shorts and sandals, it is starting to feel like summer!) Had a nice lunch with some of the ladies from work yesterday (first public outing with my headscarf). Was okay, didn't feel like anyone even noticed. I'm busy today getting organized so I can do nothing except rest after chemo...
Have a good day everyone!
Hey, Beth!!!!! Glad to hear you went out, headscarf and all. I got used to it, and it seemed that people didn't even notice. I didn't like wearing them, but I didn't want people to trip over their shopping carts as they stared at a bald head. Just keep looking forward to the day when you whip that thing off for good as you see your hair starting to grow back!
ReplyDeleteI hated all that bloodwork. I began to feel like a pincushion!

rest is good - rest, rest, rest.....
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are comfortable in a scarf. That's soo funny about the staring people :)
ReplyDeleteThinking of you as you get your next chemo ...
ReplyDeleteGood for you, getting out. I'm so self conscious that simply doing just that was a big hurtle for me. I am still getting used to going out with my short hair. Yesterday a woman asked me why I would cut my hair like that...
ReplyDeleteYou left a comment on my blog wondering why I don't get a port ... well ... in April, I had a CVC - central line that got infected. The hole left behind is not healing because I am on chemo. The port needs to go where the CVC was, so until it heals, I only have the PICC line.
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing O.K.
Hi Beth, glad you had a nice lunch with pals! I remember my first weeks without hair, I thought everyone was looking but now I just go out and I dont care. I wear turbans and even my oncologist told me I looked glamorous!!!!!! Can't wait for my hair to grow back though :0(
