This is how I feel today…at long last. Definitely far from perfect, but I got up this morning, put on hair and make up, and planned my day to DO things, other than just survive! As the symptoms and after effects slowly subside, and the operative word is slowly, I take great encouragement in the knowledge that this is the beginning of good health and life in the new normal. My eyes are still a mess, but I’m not sure how much of that is attributable to chemo and how much to record high pollen counts in Phx. My scalp is prickly and tender, which is a good indication that spring growth is under way up there, too. I actually had a dream that I had hair the other night…not my “old” hair, but what I am guessing my “new” hair will look like soon.
I met with the radiologist last week (how I don’t know or remember), and my radiology treatment is planned and booked, starting on April 20th. Then it’s 11 more herceptin infusions to finish off the high tech, receptor therapy, and I’m done. Sandra and Galen are off to Sedona and the Grand Canyon on their scenic trip home…their love and support is forever appreciated! I am off to get caught up on the last two weeks and get back to my novel. Sending love and light to all…
