Bad Hair Day

Well, it has finally started to happen...I got up this morning and bathed and combed and brushed my hair and everything was hunky-dory. Since I had a Dr appt this morning , I began to get dressed and after putting on my shoes I ran my fingers through my hair (as I am want to do) and, behold, I had a handful of hair. I tried my other hand to see if that would achieve the same dastardley result---more hair. My wife came in the room and I said, "Watch this, I'm losing my hair". I repeated the procedure for her benefit. I have a nice, sporty red/white wig that I guess I will be wearing for the time being. No, I did not wear it to see the Dr. I wanted him to concentrate on my appt.
He said that my neck mass looked very promising and that I should be having 5-6 chemo treatments. He also said that if the neck mass disappeared then it was likely that the tumor in my left lung would be gone too. That sounded like good news. We'll see....I trust him and I trust in the Lord.  He said that since I hadn't had nausea from my first chemo that it would be unlikely that I would experience it in subsequent treatments. He did say that I would continue to have the peripheral neuropathy )tingling and numbness in my fingertips for awhile...also, the pains associated with the chemo and the cancer. He said I was doing well. He asked about my appetite and I told him that I had a good time with food.
So, for now, things are looking cool. I think my walking exercises and breathing exercises help. Of course prayers and friends and family and Clowns are in my arsenal too !!!
Life is good...and, what an adventure !!!
