So yes, earlier than usual and another update. Why? Just because I have some great news to share, and then just some news.
Let's start off with the great news, because the other stuff is just info really. So I had my second round of Red Devil 6 days ago, so not long ago at all. The last time I went through this, it was a shit show. Well, at least for now, that has changed. I have had a great week! I have felt great, almost back to my old self again! It is truly amazing. I didn't take one nap either! Yes, I had to go to my oncologist every damn day, but getting those injections to increase my white blood cell counts may be the trick. I'm not sure, but I am taking this victory without a doubt! I haven't felt this good in so long, and I hope it lasts. My energy level has been so much better, and I feel like I was able to take bigger steps and just the not being so worn out part has been tremendous!
On just the info side, I discovered today, that I only have a few eyelashes remaining, and the same with my eyebrows. I never wear makeup, so that wasn't a dead giveaway to me. Honestly, I don't care, I know they will grow back. The way I discovered this is kind of funny to me. This morning, I was rubbing my eye because I felt like there was something in there. I got it out, but noticed the "missing" hairs at that same moment. I had a friend once tell me who was going through breast cancer when she lost her eyelashes, ear hair and nose hair, it was very very apparent. You dont realize what these little hairs do to protect foreign objects from entering different orifices in your body. I sure do now and I can relate to what she told me. Just another one of those things this battle brings on, although very minimal.
I hope to keep riding this wave of feeling good. I love having this opportunity to feel "normal" again after all this time. Such a breath of fresh air.
