I actually talked to someone at Radiation today while I was waiting.  (shocking, I know.)  Another woman came out of the dressing room to wait and was asking how long my hair had been growing back (not the first time I’ve had this question) and I had to explain that I’d cut it way down, but that it hadn’t in fact, started falling out yet. 
. 
And she was saying that her hair didn’t start falling out until like.. her third treatment (my 3rd is this thursday), and that she did the same thing aftewards- cut it way down.  She told me her current hair was a wig and that she was curious about the grow-back because her last chemo treatment had been in May and her hair wasn’t even as long as mine is. 
. 
I blogged a little bit about body issues in my other blog, and how I’ve realized that deep down, I’m actually disappointed that I haven’t lost any weight of real consequence.  That was a hard thing to admit, and kind of fucked up really.  :shrug: 
. 
From everything people keep telling me week 3 is when all the big bad side effects start to kick in. 
. 
Bring it on I guess.  My stomach is already fucked up when I eat.  My hips and pelvis are so sore and stiff.  And I’m already exhausted all the fucking time.  I don’t care anymore.  I’m too tired to give a shit.
