Updates

:: Bobbie's weight is down to 100lbs. She's most comfortable around 110 or so.
:: Cancer Girl's hair has grown in - although its still sufficiently short that she looks like she's in the army. Turns out she and I had the same drug regimen during chemo but her hair started coming back before that treatment had finished. Mine didn't. Am somewhat paranoid - what if it doesn't come back? I'm already tired of the whole turban business.
:: The nurse technician spent all yesterday putting up holiday lights (timed to illuminate automatically at dusk) outside his home.
:: My breast is beginning to burn. Definite discoloration and tingling. Stocked up on all-natural, colorless aloe vera gel this evening.

Yikes, get that aloe going!

I have this weird trichomegaly (looked it up and that's what it's called) of the eyelashes from my erbitux (which I am done with) -- I look like a raccoon. Curly (like freshly crimped and tangled) black on top and bottom. I know that for someone who lost her eyelashes, you might not be too sympathetic, however, they poke me in the night and make my eyes get goopy and swollen. It's NOT attractive.

I am tired of weird side effects.
