Has it really been a month since I last wrote? Sheesh, I've lapsing again.
Not much has really gone on. Chemotherapy's gone on, as usual. The nausea isn't quite so bad anymore. Mom suggested that I drink warm Sprite and some saltines to help settle my stomach. That's helped. The doctor says I've lost weight . . . nothing that I didn't already know. My clothes don't even fit me right now. I can get away with my shirts but my pants . . . no way. It isn't happening. Kind of shocked everyone when they'd seen me.
But I think the biggest shock came when they saw what happened to my hair . . . Yep. That's right. I have no hair, thanks to the chemo. Speed Racer, my friends, is completely bald. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw their expressions, especially Racer X's. Even through the mask, I could tell that he was surprised.
Things are getting better, though. I still have the cancer but most of the bad cells are being destroyed by the chemo. I'm feeling better than what I have in months, ever since I was told the news, and I have more of an appetite. Mom's happy about that. She was quite worried there for a while. Can't say that I blame her, though. I wouldn't wish this disease on my worst enemy. Not at all.
Smells like lunch. More at another time.
