Think Pink!

I wake up every morning wondering, "Is this the day I will loose my hair?" I know it sounds ridiculous, but I'm starting to anticipate it as I have kept it longer than I thought. I thought the minute the chemo went through me, it would fall out in a few days. Some patients at Harrington told me it would be around two weeks. The Internet sources say between day 10-16. Today is my day 14 from my first chemo treatment. I have had tingling in my scalp, which is supposed to be a sign before it falls out.

Ok! In order to enjoy this process, instead of dreading it, I woke up and remembered I still had purple and pink hair dye from Tatum this summer. Yep! This is the day I will make my hair pink!
I will dip dye my hair like I've wanted to do all summer!

As P!nk's lyrics are ringing in my head and on my iPod - it's on!
"Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
'Stead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill"

This ridiculous process of anticipating one of the many side effect is taking away from the real reason I'm doing the chemotherapy - to live!

Think pink! My happy color!!!!!
