This past week has been AMAZING!! At the beginning of the week I continued to get tired toward the end of each day and needing a nap but by Tuesday/Wednesday I was feeling 100% back to normal!! No chemo fog… nothing!! I feel so encouraged to know I will get a break in between infusions!
All the things
Once I started feeling like myself again I had this freak out moment like… OMG I only have 1 WEEK before my next infusion… I need to do ALL the things!! And that’s what I did lol… 2 rail trail walks, coffee dates, bike riding, outdoor family dinner at Putnums, watched my daughters softball practice, outdoor lunch at Sweetgreen (which was seriously the best salad I have ever eaten), and Jamie and I got to meet our friends new baby!! The snuggles were all the therapy I needed!! Such a beautiful sunny week and felt very blessed.

Stay hair stay!
Friday April 25th- 17 days post chemo and ahhhhh I definitely had some major hair loss in the shower this morning! I was doing a rice vinegar rinse and clumps were coming out. It was an “oh shit” moment. Like dang… there’s a possibility that cold capping won’t work. I then combed my hair with a wide tooth comb gently after showering and more hair fell out. Usually days 14-21 are the worst in regards to shedding and losing hair. So I guess we will see!!! Fingers crossed!!
Saturday April 26th- I refused to comb my hair today LOL! I was not in the mood to see more hair fall out. Kept it in a bun and figured I would deal with hair loss another day!! Zack isn’t feeling well. We thought it was just allergies, but he has a low grade fever and definitely feeling off. I cleaned and sanitized the entire house. PRAYING I don’t get sick. I have been trying so hard to be safe but sometimes I forget my kids are in public school and this might be an impossible task to stay healthy…
*Random* Haven’t had an alcohol beverage in 21 days!! I made the decision to stop drinking while going through treatment. Been pretty easy so far… my food/drink aversions are pretty strong and not craving things I would normally crave (like wine or coffee lol)! SO BAZAAR… never thought this day would come haha!
Sunday April 27th- Woke up this morning feeling like time is running out. My next infusion is this Wednesday… 3 more days!! Trying not to think about it and enjoy the time I have left!
As always thank you everyone for all your love and support!! It is so heartwarming to know I am SO FAR from being alone in this journey!
