Mom went through her second chemo treatment yesterday. Like the first one, she didn't have an problems with the treatment itself, but she's worried about today and tomorrow.
After her first treatment she suffered a severe panic attack as one of the side effects. I felt horrible for her, especially since I've battle them for 8+ years and know how horrifying they can be. You never forget your first one, either.
Her hair is starting to come out. The other day she said her scalp felt like it was on fire and she said that now if she even just lightly shakes her head it falls out. She's not sure it will survive the next shower.
It's rough for her, and she knows there's still 4 more treatments to go (she had originally thought there would be 5 more, so that was a relief for her).
Attitude is still good. There's the underlying fear that she won't be able to work enough through it to maintain her insurance, but other than that she's doing her best to keep a positive attitude so she can lick this and put it all behind her.
