I'm still around. Gained the five pounds back I lost the first week of chemo. All I want to do is eat. I am trying to stay on plan, but somedays the cravings just get to me. I know I shoudn't be worrying about gaining weight right now, but I do not want to gain back the 17 pounds I have lost. I have another chemo treatment next Tuesday the 13th, so I am sure that week will be harder to eat. Food tastes horrible that first week because of the metallic taste in my mouth. I have to force myself to eat then. So I guess when I am feeling good and food is tasting so good, I just eat, eat, eat
I had my head shaved Friday to 1/4 in. Yesterday the rest of my hair (body hair and all) started falling out. You should have seen my husband's face when he came home - he always rubs the dog's head and then he came up and rubbed my head - and hair went everywhere

It was hysterical. Now he has to vacuum up after me and the dog

I do have my wig and it looks so much like my real hair. I will have to download a picture - probably will have to forward it to Laurie first

I have cut my shower time down to 10 minutes - I don't have to wash and condition my hair and I don't have to shave anything - even lost the hair down south, if you know what I mean

There is some freedom in being bald. I only wear my wig when I am out in public - once home, off it goes. The kids & DH don't seem to mind and it feels so good.
I really miss everyone, too!! I wish we could get back to the way it was. I know everyone is busy - so am I. Some days it is all I can do to get to work. But I am keeping up with you all - and I will post more. I just don't want to bore you to tears with this bc thing.
