SHORT REPORT: Chemo still sucks! My platelet count was low when I had chemo and, judging from my body’s reaction, took a nosedive. I don’t seem to be loosing any more hair.. but my skin is so dry that I feel like I have a mud mask on all over my body. Flu-like symptoms get worse with each treatment and seem to last a little longer each time.
MORE DETAIL:
Well… the best way I can describe the last several days is … like taking a swan dive into an empty pool! I have visions of Wiley Coyote falling off that cliff – hitting bottom and then the anvil hit!.
I had the most fantastic few days right before chemo - Things just fell together for an incredible memorial ceremony at San Jacinto Monument for next Tartan Day! It’s something that I’ve dreamed of for several years now!
I guess I was a little naïve to think that I could avoid the crash. . so I just ran right off that cliff!. I had planned to spend the weekend with my son and daughter-in-law, but as it was, barely made it from the bed to the couch.
I had chemo a week ago tomorrow… and today is the first day that I felt strong enough to stand and brush my teeth. I haven’t been out of the house since last Wednesday. If all goes well, I’ll make it over to Nick’s today for some much appreciated change of scenery!
Thanks so much to all of you who continue to send me emails and cards... it means so very much!
mucho love,
Sia
