Hair today Gone tomorrow.

Today is Friday, just under a week until my 4th chemo treatment.  For the last couple treatments Tuesday seems to be my turn around day.  I manage to maintain a relatively normal life from Tuesday through Wednesday (chemo eve).  Unfortunately chemo changes things for not only me but my family as well.  For the last several years we went on vacation camping at CranHill Ranch.  The first year we went we happened to land on the triathalon week.  We kept going the same week each and every year since.  We planned to go again this year which would be this coming week, however having a chemo treatment in the middle of that week is not an option.  So we regretfully cancelled our vacation this summer.  

There are a host of things my particular flavor of chemo changes.  One of the side effects of the chemo is hair thinning.  I noticed this durinig my treatments 10 years ago and have notice more progression in the last couple of treatments.  Leah and I have had a few discussions about my hair past, present and future.  I feel my hat collection may come in handy in the future.

Overall I have been feeling and doing pretty well in my personal and work life.  The mode of life is to live as normal as possible from now through Wednesday.  That day shifts to mentally and physically preparing for Chemo and the days that follow.
