November 27:
I lost so much hair the day after Thanksgiving that it seemed best to have the rest shaved off. Otherwise, I looked like an extra in a horror movie . Shannon did the clipping. Now, I need to wear a hat most of the time. Two reasons: 1) so I don't scare anyone and 2) to keep my head warm.

Tomorrow I start the second cycle. Five days of treatment and then 16 days off. Then, I'll be halfway through the treatment. I expect to have a hearing test this week due to the ringing in my ears (now stopped). I also expect to have a CT scan after this cycle to see if the chemo treatment is shrinking the tumors. If not, the dosage or type of drug will be adjusted. I'm hoping the steroids can be modified this time so I don't feel like I'm living outside my body. Either way, I'm ready for round two.
