Hey everybody. Just stopping by the house for a few minutes. I'm being driven around in Greenville today by a cousin who's in for the family reunion. We're "bonding". I had a few Mother's Day surprises up my sleeve, and she's helping me accomplish them. I'm going to keep this short because we still have several places to go, it's very hot, and we don't know how long I'll last before the effects of the chemo kick in again.
Overall, I am doing extremely well. The fatigue and diarrhea are the only effects that are really bothering me. I have headaches on and off, some bone pain from the Neulasta shot, and loss of appetite. Considering what other people have gone through with chemo, I consider myself very fortunate that I'm doing as well as I am. I'm just very thankful that it's not any worse.
Got my wig, and my mama is very pleased with how it looks. (I told her to wear it then.........). So far, I still have a full head of hair. Today is day 7, and I was told that it would probably start to fall out between day 10 and 14. Hopefully, I'll get through the reunion tomorrow with no problems. Please pray for me. I'm not a very vain person, but I sure am dreading losing my hair.
Not sure when I'll post again. We'll probably be in Bear Grass mostly due to the reunion. I don't have another appointment until Wednesday when I have my labwork done. Will probably come by then and give ya'll an update.
Thank you so much for everything. I sure can feel your prayers.
Cindy
