So I'm super SUPER excited because a family friend is coming in from FLORIDA to bring me to Chemo #3 Monday! But now that I'm 1/4 of the way through this Chemo Journey I can't help but be a little pissed about a few things (small things) which are laughable really.
1. I still although my head is covered in stubble HAVE to shave my legs... WTF can't a girl catch a break?! I'm hoping this changes after chemo number 3....
2. Chemo is literally oozing out of my pores so my skin is HORRIBLE... I am however glad that my body can push out the toxicity so fast :) I just hope I'm not left with scars on my face.
3. All the water I drink becomes water weight... In order to feel better (hydrate) I have to inflate myself :/
4. Any juice with ginger is GAGFUL and does NOT help your stomach.. it makes it worse. Gingerale however is a good thing :)
As much as these things suck they're not that bad... its just a little ridiculous. Some good things that have surprised me:
1. still have my eyebrows! yeah!
2. and eyelashes! I've only lost a total of 2 so far.. and I know this because they end up poking me in the eye- not fun.
3. I dont have to shave my armpits! sweet :)
4. I still have most of my stubble and it feels pretty sweet haha....
5. The whole second week I barely need any meds.. and the week of chemo I'm not as bad as I've read some people have it.. the first treatment was really the worst
6. I haven't had any trouble sleeping! some people do.. so I'm incredibly grateful for the ability to sleep..
7. I dont know when mouth sores start.. but I think Alo drinks have saved my mouth so far.. highly recommend them!
