Jan 10th. I've made a decision about chemo, I don't care what kind of medicine your using it's all bad. Okay, it's not really bad since it's killing the cancer but how it makes you feel... YUCKY!!!. I spoke to Dr Whitaker about stopping the treatment but that was a definite NO. He said that we need to be sure that if the cancer has spread to any other organs that we catch it now. Makes sense, I guess :) I will tell you that the nauseousness was much better but unfortunately replaced, however no vomiting, that's a good thing. The thing I need to always remember is this is chemo...it is a poison. The good thing, only 3 treatments left. By the end of February this part will all be over. I can surely handle this until then. God doesn't give you anything you can't handle, right?
One other thing that has been happening is skin peeling. I swear I look like a snake that is shedding it's skin. I'm sure between the extremely cold weather and the medications I don't have a chance. I should have bought stock in baby oil, I'd be rich right now, hahaha. The good thing... I don't have to shave so at least this isn't adding to it. Even my head is peeling. When I pull my wig off there's so much flakiness it looks like it's snowing. I wonder if I can just say I have dandruff. Do you think anyone would wonder why a bald women has dandruff? :)
Hang in there sister, it's almost over!!
