I went back to the new Oncologist on Wednesday, 02.17.21 to begin my second treatment of the new chemo cocktail. It is kind of like happy hour, but completely different…they are literally killing you one cell at a time. The main drug is called Carboplatin and it has been up and down from the day I first was infused, until now. I will provide more details in another post.
The main reason for this post is my hair loss. It happened exactly like the doctor said it would. I noticed last night when I couldn’t sleep. I kept seeing hair on my laptop (which is a bad ass machine!) It may be cliché, but I am doing this on my terms. I get it. The cancer treatment is going take my hair, forcing me to make the first move. But it is not winning. To paraphrase Stuart Scott, “You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and the manner in which you live.” Today, I choose to win by how and why I am living. I will do it with people I love and also love me. I will do this on my terms.
For now I have to go, Sonja is back with the clippers.
Until next time…Just Keep Moving.
