Hair today, gone tomorrow

Suddenly today, Jenna’s hair is falling out. Bamm! Bunches of hair falling to her blouse and the couch. Fortunately, she has been reading about wigs for weeks. And bought a few head covers already.

Good news, actually. Means the cancer treatment is working. It attacks fast growing cells, including hair cells.

Bruce tells her, “You’re just catching up to me. I’ve lived with this for 40 years.” She is amused.

Jenna says, “As soon as Denby leaves and takes his shedding with him, I start shedding.” Bruce is amused.

We are easily amused.

Other than side effects, Jenna feels better than before treatment began. Better than amusing.

PS Denby returns to his breeder in three days. We broke the news to him tonight. He is not amused.
