Off with the hair

I 've decided it's time. My hair is really thinning, falling into my soup, etc. So, I'm having it buzzed Wednesday. It's just too gross - I want to do this on my own terms. The upside is my legs are staying pretty buff (I don't need to shave as much) and my skin looks great!
I'm not too depressed this week. We had a beautiful sunny day yesterday, which helped every one's attitude. It rained today, but we've got a shot of great weather coming in - just in time for our (Brad and I) big glamping trip this coming weekend! I'm so excited! For those of you not on Facebook who didn't see my link, our exact glampsite is on the cover of this month's Sunset magazine! I couldn't believe it! Tent 355 - where I was last time and I got it again! It's at Lakedale Resort on San Juan Island. I was there last fall, and loved it. Beautiful island, and totally cool setting. I'm so looking forward to it, and we have a whale watching outing booked!
Meantime, back to cancer, I've been concerned about weight gain - I mean I've been exercising the best I can and eating a ton of fruit and veggies. Well, guess what I found out Friday at chemo? One of my pre-meds has steroids in it!! I have about four pre-meds before the heavy stuff to guard against any bad side effects such as nausea. The first two times I had chemo, I had to take some steroids orally but then they stopped that because I wasn't having any horrible side effects to the taxol. But then I discovered there is still some in one of those damn pre-meds. So that explains the weight gain and some pretty goofy mood swings.
Dr. Kaplan has been gone the past two weeks, but he'll be back Friday, and I'm going to request we ramp down the steroids. I mean, I really am tolerating the chemo well. It's just still fatigue and memory that are causing me problems. But as Brad says, it's not forever. But, it will be a long year, and if I can get rid of the steroids I think I would feel better.
Okay, watch Facebook if you're on it for upcoming photos of me in my wig or some other groovy head covering! I hope it's a good week for everyone.
