Kinda bummed at this stage

So I got done yesterday, came home, and started noticing some hair loss in the back of my head where the radiation is targeted. I’m only 3 cycles away from completion of this round, and this happens now? Come on, man! I thought I’d skate by without any hiccups like this. It’s not a big deal, and I won’t see it as it’s in the back of my head, but still. It’s personal and a bummer. Call me Professor Klump because that’s just how it was coming out—clumps.

I ran my fingers through my hair and noticed it. Oh well. We’re almost done! If this is all it will be, then it is not too bad. Weird haircut coming soon. The top of my head isn’t affected.

I saw my radiation friends today, the older couple. We don’t really talk, just a wave and a general “hi, how are ya?”. It is a bright part of my day when I go. I saw the Radiation Oncologist after my zappy zap today. I have 6 days until my last appointment and 3 cycles left. I have 5 chemo pills. Something didn’t math right with the pharmacy. I asked the doc if I should just skip a day, maybe Friday since it is a holiday. He said to ask the Medical Oncologist. I got a message into them through my patient portal. My nurse at the radiation site said just skip a day. I’m sure my MO will say the same. I can’t imagine the pharmacy just filling one pill a day.

So that’s that. I’m down to 3 cycles left now. What a journey thus far.

Thank you for coming along with me!
