@lls8000 Thank you so much for your reply. My nurse today said he didn’t know about shampoos but said taking biotin is good for hair. He also said my dose of chemo was going to be a little lower than what was ordered because there is a shortage so it has to be rationed. That was a little concerning. He also asked if I knew Carboplatin often caused tinnitus. I said yes and that I hope it doesn’t happen in my good ear. I also had dry run to set up radiation. Treatments start tomorrow. I’ve been a little worried because my little dog licked my leg after I got home. I hope I didn’t poison her. Then my husband who accompanied me today said he’d like us to use our tickets that expire month end to SoCal to see his kids & grandkids on 29th, 4 days after my next chemo infusion. I said not a good idea for me and suggested he go without me. Clueless.

@bdurel I hope radiation went well today. sounds like hubby needs education on what chemo does to your immune system. he may just be thinking that some family time would be uplifting emotionally, without understanding the risks for your health, not to mention the limits of what is manageable for you now. glad you kept your boundary in place. ❤️
