WARNING- scary picture!

I hope this doesn't scare anyone, but this is the naked (head) truth.  My brother-in-law shaved his head to be "on my team". Isn't he sweet?!

Well, only 1 day left of chemo in round 2.  So far I'm not feeling too bad.  I know I haven't reached my "bottom out" days yet, but I still think I feel better right now than I felt at this point last round.  Nausea is under control so far.  My only problem is all the fluids they're pumping into me - they're not coming out near as fast as they're going in.  Get this - between Tues and Weds morning I gained 10 pounds!!  And then this morning (Thurs) I was up another 4 pounds.  Yikes!  Can we start a new Biggest Loser contest right now?  'Cause I feel like I would win easily.  They are giving me some Lasix (sp?) - a diuretic - to help flush some of that out and it is helping, though not as much as I would like.  I feel kind of like the Pillsbury dough boy. 
Thanks for all the nice cards friends - you're the best!
Thanks for reading,  Susan

    Make sure you are drinking LOTS of fluids...that will tell your body it is okay to dump the extra fluids:)
