It's been 3 weeks since my last chemo and I can report I am starting to feel better. It's hard for me to believe that in 1 more week all of the chemo will be out of my system. I know that I am hoping for this electric type shock that zaps me back into a normal pre-cancerous body.....but I know that won't happen, but I can at least wish for it!
I get more hair growth each day...sure it's only less than a mm at a time....but it's growing. It really needs to fill in the bald spots on top....they are a bit choppy and it looks like I had ringworm in those spots...yuck! But my sideburns are coming to the tops of my ears, and I can almost comb them....yes I said COMB them! I have gone without scarves and hats a few times but with my glasses on I look like the singer Moby and I decided to wait for a bit more hair growth.
So if you are just starting the process of a breast cancer diagnosis...please read this blog. It really does get better...you CAN make it, and you WILL laugh and cry about yourself along the way. On August 9th I will see both my plastic surgeon and my cancer doctor to see what is next for me. I will probably schedule my breast implant surgery in the next few weeks, and the oncologist will let me know if I am good for another 3 months or not. I am hoping I am!! Then I am going to go get a pedicure cuz my feet are nasty!
