Well, after loosing my hair and coming to terms with it, I was just looking forward to a nice bald head. Is that to much to ask for? In the scheme of things, I don't think so. I still have some peach fuzz, which at times I pick at thinking it still should come out. It hasn't yet, so maybe I'd better stop pulling it!!!!
About a week or so after my second chemo treatment, my head started to itch. I didn't give it much thought, I figured, since we had no power for 7 days I was wearing knit caps 24/7, that maybe my head just needed to breathe. (I still do that anyways because my head is so darn cold!!!). Well, it got so bad I wanted to scream! Not to gross everyone out, but it looked like I had poison ivy on my head. So, I called the doctor to see if they can get some cream for it. They called back and wanted to see me! CRAP! I have to make a trip in the see the doctor. Well, they took a look at it and saw that was an infection in my hair follicles!!!!! GREAT!!!!! Are you shitting me? I asked, is this normal? They say some people get it. I told them, I just got used to loosing my hair and looking forward to a nice bald freakin' head, and I get an infection.
So, 10 days on antibiotics and some cortisone cream. It finally went away withing a few days......I've always stayed positive, never really bitched (yet) but come on hair follicle infection!!!! As awful as it was, I did laugh about it after it was all done!!!! Only me!
On a happier note, I was 1/2 done with my treatments, just 2 more to go!!! Yippie!!!!
