What's your Superhero Name?
My weapon is Plasma Lance......whoa..... Plasma = blood type stuff.....hmmm.... I think I will have to think about that one! But I do believe a canoe would be a good idea as I think I need something to keep me afloat right now!
My blood counts were low again last Friday.... really low. But I know the drill now... stay home, don't touch people, don't let them touch me, don't touch fresh fruits and veggies, watch my temperature, watch my blood pressure, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Tomorrow is chemo #4. The half way point. I am looking forward to it and dreading it, both at the same time. And for good reason! Both of them!
An interesting observation:
For years I have worn jeans. I have even managed to have jobs where jeans were ok in the office. For years, I have carried a comb in the back left pocket of my jeans. Always. It would get transferred from one days jeans to the next days jeans. Recently, I realized that I am still transferring that comb from one pair of jeans to the next. I don't know where I think I am going to find hair to comb, but I am still carrying the comb! I guess old habits really are hard to break!
Maybe I'm just looking forward to the day my hair grows back. It is already growing back, but certainly an eighth of an inch is not enough to warrant a comb yet. Oh, and by the way, for those that don't know me in person, my hair color prior to chemo - dark brown; my hair color as it is growing back in after chemo fallout - white with strands of dark brown throughout. And at this point it is white white..... not grey, white. I think it is kinda cool, but I may just be blinded by the fact that I am happy as hell it is growing back! I am hoping the new chemo drug Taxol, which I will be receiving for the last four chemo sessions, (after tomorrows chemo), doesn't make the little bit of growth I have fall out again.
Hopefully I will be posting again soon. Hopefully this chemo will be nicer to my body. If not, I will blog again as soon as I can.

Good luck with this last chemo in this series. Things are completely different with the Taxol. Some like it better and some don't. I may have liked it better, but what is there to like about chemo anyway? I say keep the comb in your pocket and let people wonder! My hair was gray when it first started gowing in, but as it grew the pigment came back too and then just the tips were gray (about a 1/4 inch or so). Eventually it came back darker and curlier than ever. You just never know. Hopefully chemo #4 will be kinder to you. Take care!
I found your blog through Gypsy's site. Good luck with your treatments and may you heal fast and well.
Thanks for signing my guest map. I hope you are feeling better. I will look forward to reading your posts.
Hi,just wanted to stop by and see how you are doing.Glad to hear that you are halfway done the chemo!Taxol only gave me some leg cramps but I think just knowing it was almost over helped so much too!I waited 2 weeks after my final chemo then shaved my head down to the skin.This way I knew everything that grew back was a keeper.My hair grew back salt and pepper but soon as I was able to I dyed it how it was before.Since then I guess the pigment came back to my hair because I had no white hair grow back.I loved the curls that grew in and I still have em even tho my hair is now shoulder length.My prayers are with you!!Take Care<3Jenn
Mary, Blessings and Healing to you.
Thank you Ryan.
