Week 15

Uh oh! I skipped a week and I apologize. I went on a cruise to the Bahamas and did not get a chance to take a picture or upload it for that matter. I was too busy getting a suntan :) I just got a job yesterday too! yay! It's at the Medina Country Club. I'll be the beverage cart girl--which means big monayyy honayyy in the summer time! But sometimes I'll have to be the server and I don't know how I feel about that. I've never done it before so we will just have to see how it goes.

It seems like everyone I come across these days has Hodgkins or knew someone who had Hodgkins I swear. My boss( I think he's my boss??) said his wife had it when she was about 30. She's ten years out and still goin strong. Also, I was at a party at Ohio State this past weekend and I met a kid my age that has it now and is in active treatment! He was kinda weird.... but still. It was great he was getting out and everything. Such a small world! Before I had cancer I never met anyone else that had Hodgkins, or even heard of it for that matter. Now its something new relating to it every day! BIZARRE.

Well, hair is growing nicely. I can't wait till its mowhawk length :) a few more weeks prob. I don't remember if I mentioned it or not, but I am taking the pre-natal pills. I think they're making my nails stronger but who knows about my hair. It's doin its own thing.

Alrighty, well good day!

Week 13

Same old, same old. I've got hair yay! The top is growing in at least 7 different directions while the back is growing straight down. It is very odd. I wonder if it grew like this before I lost it all. I guess the weight of it will eventually turn it to normal. I also wonder if and when it's going to start curling! Only time will tell.

I started waiting a few days between washing my hair. I was using that Nioxin, but it is almost gone and I figured everyday was too much and maybe the natural oils of my scalp will help the hair grow more healthy.

In other news, I am leaving for a cruise this Friday! I am really excited! It is only a 4 day cruise to the Bahamas but it is definitely better than nothing! I am going with just my mom and sister so there will be no drama. Just pure fun in the sun!

Until next week...!

do not be fooled, I do not have bedhead! This picture was right out of the shower and how my hair naturally dried! its a crazy thing.
