Enhertu #3

Here we go, again! 

Since I now have good reason to go through all my wigs, I decided to start with Ariel.  My pink, scaled pants were the cherry on top.  [or bottom.]

My bloodwork was looking good, and Dr. Cole was happy with it, except for my potassium.  I'll be having scans after infusion #4.  Because of the low potassium, I needed a 2-hour infusion after chemo, so I removed Ariel for the long haul.  

I thought I might take a nap, but it was lovely laughing and ministering to my good friend.  

When both infusions were over, I attempted to put my wig back on.  It got stuck in the zipper of my purse on the way up top, and the camera snapped the joy.  

Recovery:

So far, I'm a little tired, but had some steroids and am surviving.  

 

In Between Enhertu#2 + Head Shaving #4

 I felt well for the majority of the three weeks between rounds.  

All was well except for early Saturday morning, when I woke up at 4:00am and vomited.  I couldn't fall back asleep, so I sat in the bath and threw up again.  Another hour in the bath and I started to feel better, but my brain was exhausted.  I experienced a little episode that I've had similarly before.  where my brain knows what it wants to say but can't make the words come out.  I was also very tired from too much house work, not enough sleep, and had a terrible headache. Thankfully, after some rest and some drugs, I recovered that afternoon!  I need that to remind me not to go overboard and work beyond my capabilities.  

The other little touchy thing in the last three weeks is coming to the knowledge that my hair wasn't going to make it.  I would rather go bald than shed.  

I didn't make a big deal out of this event; just a few friends and family stopped by to give support.  

I love that Evan wanted to help with taking off the hair!

It's nice that I still have a good head for baldness and support to get me through.
