GO SNAP! You look amazingly good with no hair, by the way. <3, girl.Originally Posted by snapdragen
Much like round one - no nausea. Muscle and joint pain kicked in a day or so later, soooo uncomfortable. I've found that taking an Ativan seems to help, I guess because it relaxes me. I sleep a lot during this time, which is fine. All my hair has come out, it came out in huge chunks so I found my clippers and shaved it off. It wasn't as traumatizing as I thought, it was more of a relief.
One more chemo session to go!

You're on a tough road- you sound spunky though, and I'm sure that is helping you cope. Sending a hug- if you have just one more treatment, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you all! I'm beginning to feel more human, the aches and pains have subsided finally! I'm going to take my dog in to try the anesthesia free teeth cleaning today. We shall see which of us survives.

your attitude is wonderful Snap. The teeth cleaning for your dog sounds like it may be more traumatizing than shaving your head!
You go girl!

Thanks spokewench, I learned about attitude from a couple of friends with breast cancer. One was very positive, the other not so much. Guess who recovered quicker?
The teeth cleaning was a big fail, she wouldn't let them hold her down or look in her mouth. Oh well, had to try.
