Well here we are, the final 4. Treatment was brutal, I felt sick shortly after we left while having lunch. This was odd but not unexpected, I ended up sleeping most of the day. I also
missed another holiday, Mother’s Day. Kids came over early but by mid-day I couldn’t focus and ended up sleeping most of the day. All and all Chemo sucks. I know there is a light
at the end of the tunnel but I still can’t see it.
Personal Struggles -
Well I am going to complain because I need to get it out. I am FAT! I have gained 25 pounds since starting treatment, my food consumption hasn’t changed but I’m huge. I’m very
uncomfortable in my own body, clothes don’t fit and I’m just swollen. I know what it feels like to be fat, I had 3 kids and didn’t lose the weight but when I did I was comfortable.
I’m hoping that most of this weight is from the steroids I have injected and have to take every other week. But how do you gain 5 pounds in 2 weeks!! Ugh, just so frustrated. I
feel I’ll be hitting 200 by the time it’s all over.
My hair -
Well my hair is coming back🙌🏼. It looks like I will have hair once again. Since I have breaks in-between treatments my body doesn’t know what to do, so it’s going to allow my hair to
grow. When I saw I had underarm hair I knew something was off, so I decided to see what my hair on my head was going to do. Y’all it’s growing! I still feel I look like a boy but
hopefully I’ll be able to have a style soon. It will also be the first time I see my natural hair color in 15-20 years! 😮 I’m just excited to use a brush again shortly.
We’ll enough complaints. I just want to say thank you again for all the support.
