Update, taste buds are starting to change kind of prickly feeling in mouth last 2 days, hair has started to fall out, day 13 washed hair in shower and alot came out, and so will be interesting to see if all falls out. My daughter won't cut it any shorter, just getting thinner by the day and is short anyway. Next Monday, will be next chemo treatment. Have been working, but did doze a lot this last weekend when home. Am so glad though, after about a week would sleep more than 3 for 4 hrs at a time. I do think working makes time go by faster. And, keeps muscle on me. We will see how things go after this next chemo treatment. Will have Monday thru Friday off since Thanksgiving week, so hope feeling good Saturday when go back to work. Then will have another 2 days off.

@terradean. Thank you for the update. Your post about the side effects you are experiencing seem somewhat bearable for you. You mention that working makes the time go by for you. Are you working the same number of hours or were you able to cut back as needed? Keeping muscle on by staying active as you can is so good. It's a balance, isn't it?
