And I still have my hair! This part is truly amazing to me. I'm still being very cautious by not brushing or washing often, although the nurse practitioner for two weeks has said I won't lose it (knock on wood). Hair is still growing on my legs, too, which I was also expecting to lose right away.
Everyone reacts differently to treatment, especially the ABVD treatment I'm receiving, I guess.
Last night after chemotherapy was rough. My stomach wasn't quite settled. I did not get sick, but didn't have a great appetite. The only "foods" I was in the mood for were cheese doodles, skittles, and oatmeal lovingly made my by mom!
I slept very well after taking anti-anxiety/nausea medications. Today I was up early and am in the mood for some carbs and protein! Egg on a bagel, maybe. :) My stomach feels much better.
What are your plans for the weekend? I'm thinking I might try to find some motivation to work on leftover homework for the fall semester and respond to emails. I hope my girlfriend Chrissy is feeling better!! She was supposed to come by for a visit, but might have the flu! :( I have to be extra careful around people and friends who are sick.
Whatever you do, I hope it makes you happy and finds you surrounded by good people!
Next treatments (all around 1pm):

Thanks for reading!
Love,
Gillian
