My daughter finally asked about the hair.....its all gone already.  But it has its advantages, when I get out of the shower I just pull my little cap on....thats it....done!  No blow drying, no curling iron... pretty easy. 

 

Anyways, my daughter asked why I was wearing the cap on my head.  I avoided the question as I had not figured out what I was going to tell her yet.  The book "What happened to Mommies hair"  seemed a little too old for her.  So I distracted her with something and we went on with our day.  I didn't want to tell her I was "sick" because I new that would scare her.  I thought about telling her I had something bad in my body and needed to take some medicine to make it go away, and the medicine also made my hair fall out.  But then I thought, if I tell her that, she will be afraid to take any medicine she might need down the road, because it might make her hair fall out.  So the next morning she came up to me with a brush and asked if she could brush my hair (they are so damn smart at 3!).  So I looked at her and said "Honey, mommy cut her hair too short and it all fell out.  I just have to wear these caps for a little while and then it will all grow back."  Ugghhh... I lied!

 

Then that cute little face looked back at me and she said "Mommy, where's my pink camel?"  She bought it!  No questions, nothing!  And she hasn't asked about it since.  Maybe it was the right answer after all!

 

My third session of chemo is coming up on Tuesday.  What a nice end to a long weekend! (Ha!)  This last session took a little longer to recover from than the last one.  So no doubt this one will be even a little longer!

 

And if recovering from one session and getting ready for the next one isn't enough, my daughter somehow got the Chicken Pox and of course gave it to my son as well.   At first I was scared because I can't be around anyone who is sick and have to go to emergency at the first sight of a sore throat.  But as luck should have it I am immune as I've already had them.  So it was actually better that they got the Chicken Pox than  a cold. Life does not slow down for anything, not even cancer.
