Hair loss...another 'symptom' of this 'new' chemo treatment I am receiving....hmmmm.
When I stopped chemo, way back in March...my hair had thinned out a little during treatments - not noticeable to others but I noticed it when it began growing back (way back in March). Naturally my hair is on the thin side...but when new hairs grew in - it was chemo hair - a little on the curly side....just like the perms I use to give myself....well, that 'hair' lasted until a few weeks ago. When I began my chemo (this time), I noticed my hair didn't have the 'body' it had just a few days before...Now I am noticing hair in the tub drain, on my pillow case, in the bathroom sink when I blow it dry and even in the brush and comb.
I'm not sure if I will loose all my hair or if it will just thin out like it did before - that only I was able to notice...
I do have the wig I originally purchased but in all honesty...I'd prefer keeping what I have! When I look in the mirror, I see myself...not sick looking. If I have to wear a wig...I think it will be a constant reminder that I am sick...
Going through all that I've been - I am still lucky to be here with all your support, prayers and positive thoughts. I can get through these 'little/minor' milestones....something that will make YOU stronger knowing that if I can do this - YOU can accomplish anything too!
Other than this 'hair thing' going on...all else is fine...I still 'run' to the bathroom but after I'm finished....I'm back to my old self...doing all the things I did before.

I just wanted to mention that I am having problems with my computer emails. Some go out and reach you....some come back with the 'mail delivery failure'....so, if you don't hear from me on my embarqmail mail box....I haven't forgotten you...I just may have forgotten to use my 'gmail' account. One day, this will be fixed!
