the advantages of not having hair

- Can pretend I am Demi Moore
- Saves shampoo
- Saves conditioner!

To all blog readers

The good news is: my brother is HLA compatible.
This means that, as he is the best bone marrow donor for me, I will have a bone marrow transplant.
This is not going to be easy, but it is the best prognosis in my group (regarding the disease type, age…) versus chemotherapy.
Transplant is supposed to take place early January 09.

The bad news is: I am ready to join the army. I already have the haircut.
Can’t look at my face/head in the mirror.
Please, spare the “it will grow stronger” because it drives me nuts.

I had a dream…

the dream that hair would stay on head did not come true.
I have now the hair cut I had in 2000-2001, but I think I’ll have the hair cut the guys had before entering the army, by the end of the week.

D13.
Hair is still on head but I feel countdown has begun.
I heard only one 17-year-old patient never lost her hair. I’m kinda hoping I’ll be the 2nd…

Broadcasting from the bubble.
Tired tired today.
Last day of treatment but start of unhappy events (headache, nausea…)
Might be entering the “tse-tse” period with long naps/nights.

broadcasting from the bubble, kAri en direct

hey all,
As I’m starting to have blog groupies, I’m going to start broadcasting from the bubble. At least as long as I’m feeling good.
Maybe I can turn into a kAri Bradshaw (have been watching too many “Sex and the City” the last days) and go: “what is normality? Can any of us pretend to be normal?”
