Last Chemo - Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is my last chemo treatment. I am expecting to be cancer-free after this, so this is the absolute farewell treatment. I sit for an infusion on Tuesday, come home with a pump full of drugs infuses over two days, and return that on Thursday morning. It's all recovery after that.

That this is the last round has not spared me the usual feeling of dread in anticipation of being sick. Even when it's the last time I expect to be chemo-sick, it still sucks.

I'm adapting to the buzz cut. I really don't care for it. I associate this kind of haircut with political statements about feminism, and cancer is no political statement. But I am appreciating the convenience. My hair doesn't get mussed when I sleep or wear a hat. It dries very quickly. There is no bad hair day - it looks exactly the same every day.

So there's that.

I kinda like the hair but we can all do without making a statement...or think of ways we might enjoy more to make the statement.We will miss you tomorrow at mom's bible study but are glad that you have something else most pressing to do!!
