The chemo has been ok....no nausea or vomiting at all. The steroids make you feel a bit bloated
but that goes away in a few days.
It appears I will loose my hair.....I can easily pull out little clumps of it. I'll keep it until it starts
being a bother then have it cut off...Oh well, I knew it was coming and I have plenty of
beautiful scarves to tie around my bald head.
Radiation treatments go on Monday through Friday at 8:30AM and will finish up at the end of April....just 20 more and I'll be done.
I have gotten some radiation dermatitis/skin rash on my chest and shoulder and hopefully
this ointment will take care of it.
I have moved on to a liquid diet swallowing anything with texture hurts. Dana's wonderful
soups are working great...delicious and feel good going down. I am mixing protein powder
in with them for the extra nutrition.
So I start my mornings off with a smoothie, a 5 Hour Energy Drink and a Xanax...
Seems to work for me..........
Well your in the mix of it now sister. "Only 20 more to go" you say it like it's a walk a thon and you've only 20 more miles. God your tough!!
ReplyDeleteI want you to know, I have been growing my hair out since cutting it short about 1 1/2 years ago, and I will keep it in good repair if you want it for wig making purposes. We can be bald together. I might need to borrow a scarf though.
Love and prayers,

Hi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteMy hair is quite short now and the next time I wash it it will all go away. I do look better with short hair. Thanks for the offer but I'll probably not do wigs..just not me.
Thanks for the love and prayers...
I'm headed to a radiation treatment then off to work.
Love Nancy
Wow, you do ROCK the short hair. Your smile and your eyes are so pretty, Meh, hair? Who needs it. I can't wait to see some of your scarves, Christa and I are planning to send you some too. I bet blue is a great color for you. I hope you day is a good one.
ReplyDeleteLove and prayers,
