Or rather my hair grow?
It's starting to come back...more like duck down or peach fuzz
But I have some baby hair coming in ...and lashes...and eyebrows!
I'm still looking a little alien-ish but you can see my progress :)
I've also been actively working on getting my strength back, which means exercise and physical therapy in addition to some medication (lyrica) to decrease the neuropathy I have from chemo.
My therapists and docs say nerves come back very slowly so I have a year or two to feel better. After that, whatever neuropathy I have left is mine to keep.
I am hoping to keep NONE of it. Because I am just that stubborn
I sometimes think dealing with the aftermath of cancer is just as hard as the diagnosis.
It seems even though I'm done with chemo, every week brings some sort of new doctor appointment or test. While I know I need to follow up with all these various appointments... cancer is a full time job, even after treatment.
Next week is my 6 month mammogram and breast surgeon appointment.
I wish I could study, because that is one test I do not want to flunk
So here's hoping the next week is uneventful as far as medical testing
so I can get back to growing my hair and PT.
