pepper on my paprikash please

turns out the spray of pepper across my white t-shirt last night was evidence that my current chemo cocktail IS killing fast growing cells … in this case those cells being my hair follicles!  I've yet to determine why it hasn't affected the facial fuzz I've gained as a result of estrogen lost.  (thankfully it's soft & golden) … someone's idea of humor I suppose.  As I sit in a chemo recliner, waiting for the delayed blood panel results, I ponder my preference for being able to move forward with today's dose, VS my aching desire to have it delayed a week.  OF COURSE, even if that were to happen…. I would then wish (next week) that it HAD been completed this week, because then I would have the week off while I have a house full of company!  Frankly, it's a lose-lose situation.  Did I catch this (so far minor) cold as a result of my weakened immune system, or was my system further weakened as a result of fighting the sniffles?!!  The verdict is due any moment now…...
