Look guys,,,,,,, I have hair coming back,,,,,,, finally !!!! Hooray !
Hey, it's better than being bald!
I have pretty much stayed the same lately. Still on water pills to control the fluid retention, but that's a small price to pay for feeling much better and not being back in the hospital.
I will do blood work sometime this week, probably Friday since I have my herceptin appointment on Monday. They want to check my levels periodically, especially with me on the diuretics for so long.
I try a few times a week to cut back the water pills to see if my body is ready and I always bloat right up.
So I will just keep trying and eventually my body will decide it's ready and the side effects from chemo will go away. I would like to get off the diuretics as soon as I can, because of dehydration and my skin/face always feels dry and I knows it's from the diuretics. I can't seem to get enough lotion on my arms and hands.
My hair continues to come in dark/thick and I have high hopes of getting rid of the wig in the next few months. I plan to donate my wig to someone who needs one, but can't afford one. I have the oncologist office working on finding someone when I am ready to be done with it.
Though my hair is coming in nicely, I am very impatient and have ordered the ovation shampoo to try and help move things along faster. It's nice and thick but still doesn't have enough length to it for me to actually be able to shape it into a hair style. But it won't be long and I will be able to do that, I am just very impatient and ready for the wig wearing days to be over with.
