Updating my blog from the new comfy chairs at swedish. Its treatment #15 today…I am DONE with chemo next week! and seriously, not a minute too soon. My poor body is really starting to show the affects of all this poison. My counts are real low today (white and red blood cells) and I’m pretty serverly anemic (which of course doesnt help with the fatigue). My finger nails are starting to die…so eventually a few may even fall off (ewwww!). Which I guess is pretty common, but still alarming for me. and lordy I am super tired lately. But after next week all these symptoms will start to go away and my strength will start to return. And I get a 2 week break before starting radiation.
I was just talking to the nurse about my hair. I know I’m a broken record, but I’m very tired of being bald. I want my hair back. I find myself staring with envy at any woman with long hair. My nurse told me that I should be rocking a cute short haircut by February latest. So there’s that…
But I really am so happy and excited that the end is in sight. And I feel lucky that I haven’t developed some of the really tough symptoms like narapathy (tingling in the hands and feet). Looking forward to a lovely weekend with my sweet boys and even a date night with Brian on Saturday at Franks Oyster House (yum!). Love to you all…
