Had my appointment with medical onocologist
My hair is probably 3/4 inches long now. I hate the fact that it will all fall out again. But I just remind myself that it is a temporary thing. People ask me if it is curly. I don't think it is long enough to be curly. At first it was so white, but it is getting darker. I still miss my eyelashes, though. They are very very short.
2/3rds of the way done and 1/3 to go with treatments.

Excited for you.
You are so close to being finished! How exciting. The Decadron pre med you described is what I have been doing. I don't have much trouble with sleeplessness, but I take Ambien at night. I also start benadryl when I get home from my treatment for the flushing and it of course helps me to sleep a lot immediately post treatment.
I'm sorry about your hair. It had been 5 1/2 weeks since I had my last treatment and I've got some good fuzz going on up there. I know once I finally get this last treatment that it will fall out. I too just have to say.... Oh well, it will grow back! I almost think I miss my eyelashes more. Just looks like beady little eyes. LOL

Wearing glasses helps with the eyelash and eyebrow thing, without the bother of makeup.
Whatever works, huh?0 -
For the lashless eyes...
When I had no eyelashes, I found the eyeliner kohl pencils pulled the skin on my lids too much and the oencils were too hard for me to use. So I bought 2 little inexpensive Maybelline powdered eye shadows in the darkest brown and deepest navy blue shades I could find, and I used the soft little brush to smudge a thin line of the powdered shawdow around my eyes instead of eyeliner. It looks a LOT better than my eyeliner attempts. Just an idea to try...
RO: Sounds like you have a good new oncologist & are ready now to finish the last lap in your treatmemt protocol! That's wonderful!0 -
Got great lab results today
My CA- 125 came back at 13. I was estatic about the results. My other results were 427 after the first chemo and 127 after the second chemo. I hope and pray that means all of these treatments are killing all those cancer cells. My other lab results came back good. Wish I could share some of my hemaglobin and platelets with some of you who need them. The treatments really have not effected my blood counts very much.
Still having nausea every morning since I had the internal radiation. Don't know how long that will last. I take a compazine the first thing in the morning.
Hope all of you are doing okay.0 -

13 is excellent news! You are a strong lady. My labs were good until after treatment 3, but you have maintained all along. Keep it up through the next 3 treatments. I hope your nausea gets better soon. I love good news!
