Round 2!

Today I'm writing from my chair in the daycare unit (that's what they call the units where you get chemo); so I guess there is a daycare for adults and let me tell you we want to attend far less then most children, haven't witnessed any temper tantrums or crying for there moms here, I'm sure that can change as I said before it is kinda a sad place.
As for round 2 so far so good, and I'm not anticipating anything to happen today I'm sure the next few days will bring the side effects. I'm thinking I'll be fine, mind over matter, right?! Yes!
The one side affect that I can't get away from or hide from the world has begun, the hair loss. About a week ago I noticed the hair coming out a little easier then normal, so I shaved my head. My eldest son calls it my Daddy hair cut, hehe! his Daddy has longer hair and so does he and his baby brother.  So yesterday I purchased a wig for days I want to have hair and I'm in the process of looking for other head wear because it's soooo cold with no hair!  I'm starting to have some sympathy for bald men, I really never realized how warm my hair was. Today I've noticed that the hair is beginning to come out in clumps so I guess it won't be long now that I'll be taking on the appearance of a cancer patient, yuck!!  Regardless of my appearance I know it's just hair and this is only temporary and for many people it's permanent so I'm not going to complain, so it may be gone for the next few months but then it will start to come back and I will be looking normal again in no time ;).
Can't wait to be done sitting here and getting home to my little men!  I miss my hectic life at home and I think they may be killing there babysitters.
