My second chemotherapy and my hair loss.

Hello friends and colleagues of this platform. Today is Monday, October 23 and as I mentioned in my previous publication, I had to undergo my second chemotherapy and I am here to tell you the updates on this process.

Today I woke up hand in hand with my Lord because I found my friend who took me in his car to the hospital and with the big bag that I carry, I was really thinking about getting into a car. God is great.

When I arrived there were not many people, apparently on Mondays not many patients come, so on the list I got number 4. I would start early and finish early since my treatment takes 2 and a half hours, they must pass a solution, then one of the medications, then the second and they end up cleaning the tubes with another solution.

We started at around 9 and finished at around 11:30 in the morning. I was already more relaxed, less expectant since in my first chemo I realized the whole process.

As always, the staff is very friendly and very attentive to all the patients' requirements and always asks if we are feeling well, thank God we all turned out well with our treatments. And that's why I gave them some candy.

My hair fell out...

Something that I knew was going to happen, I was warned by the doctor, I have seen it among my friends and even so I was very impressed. Since last Tuesday I began to feel how my hair remained on the comb when I combed my hair, I couldn't help but feel a sensation of fear and horror when I saw all that hair falling like balls of threads every time I passed my comb.

The shaving of the hair.

By Thursday I was tired of feeling my hair flying all over my back, my arms and the whole house full of hair. I felt every hair coming off my scalp and my head hurt, my hair was heavy. I made the decision to shave my head and I communicated it to my daughters and they fully agreed. We went out to the stores looking for something to cover the bald spot that will now be my hairstyle and the truth is I didn't find anything pretty, just those hats that I honestly don't like at all and I spent Saturday and Sunday going out with my head uncovered.

I made the appointment with a brother from the church who is a barber and he told me that he was honored that I asked him to cut my hair. I went with my two daughters who have given me a lot of support, as they should in these cases of illness.

I don't pay anything for the cut and I donated my hair to a good cause to clean our Lake Maracaibo, which is very dirty. My daughter wanted to show solidarity with me by shaving her hair too, but I told her that since she was ugly, only one was enough. My grandson didn't like my cut, he asked me why I had cut my hair like that and my other granddaughter asked her mother, amazed, why did I remove all my hair?

The hair will grow again, thank God, my treatment continues with the hope that the doctor will soon tell me: you are already healthy, this is where the treatment ends. Being able to continue with my new way of life in meals and learn the lesson. My next appointment will be on November 13, so see you in my next update. Thank you for all your support to @dream.socialclub @wox-helpfound and @oleh for all your great support in this process and to each and every one who prays for my health. Thanks with all my heart.

MI SEGUNDA QUIMIOTERAPIA Y LA CAIDA DE MI CABELLO.

Hola amigos y compañeros de esta plataforma. Hoy es Lunes 23 de Octubre y como les mencione en mi anterior publicacion me toco hacerme mi segunda quimioterapia y vengo a contarles las actualizaciones de este proceso.

Hoy me levante de la mano tomada de mi Señor porque consegui a mi compadre quien me llevo en su carro hasta el hospital y con el bolso grande que yo llevo la verdad lo pensaba para montarme en un carro por puesto. Dios es grande.

Al llegar no habia mucha gente, al parecer los Lunes no van muchos pacientes, asi que en la lista obtuve el numero 4. Comenzaria temprano y terminaria temprano ya que mi tratamiento tarda 2 horas y media, deben pasar una solucion, luego uno de los medicamentos, luego el segundo y terminan limpiando las vias con otra solucion.

Comenzamos como a las 9 y terminamos como a las 11 y media de la mañana. Ya estaba mas relajada, menos espectante ya que en mi primera quimio me di cuenta de todo el proceso.

Como siempre el personal muy amable y muy atento a todos los requerimientos de los pacientes y siempre preguntan si nos sentimos bien, gracias a Dios todos salimos bien con nuestros tratamientos. Y por eso les regale unos dulces.

SE ME CAYO EL CABELLO.....

Algo que sabia que iba a suceder, estaba advertida por el doctor, lo he visto entre mis amigas y aun asi me impresione mucho. Desde el Martes pasado comence a sentir como mi cabello quedaba en el peine cuando me peinaba, no pude evitar sentir una sensacion de miedo y horror cuando vi todo ese cabello caer como bolas de hilos cada vez que pasaba mi peine.

LA RAPADA DEL CABELLO.

Para el dia Jueves ya estaba cansada de sentir el cabello volando sobre mi espalda, mis brazos y toda la casa llena de pelos. Sentia cada cabello que se despegaba del cuero cabelludo y me dolia la cabeza, el cabello pesa. Tome la decision de raparme la cabeza y se la comunique a mis hijas y estuvieron plenamente de acuerdo. Salimos de tiendas buscando algo con que cubrirme la calva que ahora sera mi peinado y la verdad no encontre nada bonito, solo esos gorros que la verdad no me gustan para nada y pase Sabado y Domingo saliendo con mi cabeza descubierta.

No me cobro nada por el corte y done mi cabello a una buena causa para limpiar nuestro Lago de Maracaibo que esta muy sicio. Mi hija quiso solidarizarse conmigo rapando su cabello tambien, pero le dije que ya fea solo una era sufiente. A mi nieto no le gusto mi corte, me pregunto el por que me habia cortado el cabello asi y mi otra nieta le pregunto a su mama asombrada que por que me quitaba todo el pelo ?.

El cabello volvera a crecer gracias a Dios, mi tratamiento continua con la esperanza de que pronto me diga el doctor: usted ya esta sana, hasta aqui llego el tratamiento. Poder continuar con mi nueva forma de vida en las comidas y aprender la leccion. Mi proxima cita sera el 13 de Noviembre, asi que nos vemos en mi proxima actualizacion. Gracias por todo su apoyo a @dream.socialclub @wox-helpfound y a @oleh por todo su gran apoyo en este proceso y a todos y cada uno que hacen oracion por mi salud. Gracias de todo corazon.
