Well, last Tuesday (day 9 of the cycle) I woke up and felt almost completely normal! I also had a check-in with the nurse practitioner that day to report on my side effects so far.
Since I was feeling better, I decided to go ahead with my plan to attend the Dashboard Confessional / Taking Back Sunday concert at Freedom Hill on Saturday, including my VIP meet and greet with Chris Carrabba. My tickets for the actual concert were General Admission Pit, and I was worried about having to stand all night, plus I had come out pretty beat up after the last TBS concert I had been to, so I called the venue and was able to be switched to an assigned seat while still keeping my VIP status. The concert was great and I quickly realized that there was no way I would have made it through the night without at seat, so I was very appreciative of that.
The bad news is, when I woke up on Sunday (day 14 of the cycle) I noticed that way more than the normal amount of hair was coming out in my hairbrush when I was getting ready. Since then I have been afraid to wash it. More and more has been coming out every day when I brush it, and even if i just happen to touch my head or run my fingers through it. Today I finally washed it for the first time since Saturday, and SO MUCH hair came out in the shower. It really was devastating to see all that hair. There are definite spots on my scalp, especially around the center part, where you can see small bald spots. I am really worried with the wedding coming up. Alan's sister is going to take me wig shopping this weekend.
Off to Round 2 next week.
