What a trooper!

This whole cancer journey has had Ramesha showing up for me in ever-new ways.

For example, we never could have imagined that he would need to give me injections (like before the stem cell collection). And today he got to cut my hair!

It was starting to bug me because in normal times I would be due for a cut, but in point of fact, my hair is starting to come out due to the chemo, so it seemed like a good idea to go ahead and hack most of it off.

So, my wonderful husband graciously stepped up to the plate and helped me get it done. 😘

Making adjustments

Yesterday was the first Tuesday since February 8 that we didn’t visit the Infusion Center for my chemotherapy injection.

It took me until the evening to realize that the discontinuance of the routine had me feeling a little “off”.

It would be too much to say that I miss getting blood drawn and drugs injected every single week, but we did get to know and appreciate so many lovely people over the many months — at the check-in desk, in the oncology and radiation departments, and especially in the infusion center, where I spent from two to three hours every single Tuesday.

So, I’m kind of missing the people, and it’s definitely an adjustment.

Of course, just as we were congratulating ourselves on doing a lot less driving, we realized that we’re about to start weekly trips to Sacramento in preparation for the bone marrow transplant.

More adjustments!
