Here we are, with 5 of my 21 chemo kilometres completed. I’m almost a quarter done this Half Marathon! Despite the rocky start to Round 2, this second kick at the can(cer!) has been pretty uneventful…which is a GOOD thing!

Other than feeling significantly more fatigued than during the first round, I’ve barely experienced any other side effects. No queasiness, no headaches, no mouth sores, or anything else that I went through the first time. At one point I even started to question if they had even actually given me the chemo!

However, I can confirm that yes, I did receive the chemo drugs. Aside from the increased fatigue, this has been evidenced with the continued loss of my hair. It’s getting pretty patchy, and if I don’t wear some sort of head covering, hair falls everywhere. Such as on my food or into my drink. I can also tell what side of my head I sleep on the most, as the left side is almost completely bald now. So it’s not only annoying, but it’s looking pretty silly. I’m actually at the point where I just want it all to fall out!

All in all, I’m doing pretty well. I sleep a little more than I used to, including daytime naps. And I’m working from home a little more than I had originally planned, which can sometimes be challenging…

But when I’m home, I also get to witness super cute sibling moments…

And Peanut always joins me for my cat naps…

It may seem like I’ve had a pretty dull week, filled with working from home and lots of napping… but I did make it to the company Year-End Dinner last week, which was a lot of fun. And where I showed off yet another new hair-do!
