You Got To Ask Yourself, Did I Hear 5 Or 6 Shots….




The chemo was once a month [every 3-4 weeks] For 6 months. Each session was about 4-6 hours, depending how long it dripped. About an hour each bag. [there were 4] 1 was an anti-nausea med. 1 bag, hmmmmm, maybe 2 of Saline[I was told]. 1 of the carboplaten [ is that spelled right?], the chemo.
Every time I went to a session I went by ambulance since I couldn’t walk, on my own. And every time I went to a session the lab made my special cocktail. My doctor called it “The big guns”.
I never got sick, not once! My hair, all my hair fell out, exactly at 3 weeks, to the day. [my Mother said my head was completely round]. (That would explain my hard headedness.) I told my parents, several times, I would lose my hair.[to prepare them] I, was so busy preparing them, I forgot to prepare myself.
 When hair is in your hand, I can’t explain that feeling, [disbelief?] There is no preparing yourself for that.
3 Weeks after chemo I itched like crazy. [my hair started growing back]. My Mother said I looked like I got into a cat fight. I replied, ”ya, you see the cat.”
