Chemo Round 3 and Pet Scan

Slight delay in my blog for chemo round three. Not very eventful for the most part. Labs came back good an we ran with the same regimen again. Each time I get chemo it seems to take longer to feel normal again. Starting to forget what normal even feels like. For the most part, I try to push through and keep my schedule the same as before chemo. That being said, my body is wearing out...I can tell not all things are getting back to normal.

Biggest change from week three is my hair falling out. No real biggy for me being a guy. Went ahead and shaved my head...it is summer anyway right? Funny part is having never shaved my head before I felt like a newborn. Rain hits my head and I am like what the heck is that feeling. So in a way, it has been kind of fun! On the flip side, most people are realizing something is up. When I tell them about the cancer, it is like I punched them in the stomach. Funny how I have to console them a bit...everyone cares though! A good feeling for me.

I was suppose to have a PET scan last week to see how the cancer was responding to chemo but somehow the doctors office tripped and it had to be rescheduled. Mentally that jacked with me a bit...you get prepared and then nothing happens. So anyway, today was the PET scan. Tomorrow I find out if it is responding or not. Have tickets to the Royals tonight so hopefully that will help keep my mind off the waiting results.

Tomorrow is also round 4 of chemo if PET scan comes back positive.

Thanks for all that are reading and GO ROYALS!!!
