Feeling more like myself now

The desens chemo over now and I am finally feeling a bit more like myself. My bowels don't want to cooperate exactly, but I haven't been eating like my old self either. The bowel meds they gave me were AWFUL. Bloating, gas...no way for me. I feel that way already!! Lots of water is doing the trick for now. I am on the avastin trial and have to watch my blood pressure each day. I run a wee bit high anyway so I purchased a BP cuff...very cool, and keep track of it. And of course, I have to make sure I don't have a delayed reaction to the carbo like I did before. I can't seem to let go of the few hairs I have left...lol. When I put a hat on I think I still have some hair 'cuz it peeks out from the hats. It works for me...for now. All of the sloughing off has subsided so I don't have that going on anymore. My insurance will pay for wigs (more expensive) but not for hats (less expensive). Go figure. My breathing is easing up a bit from all the fluids in my lungs and I am hoping that continues because I like to breathe . The doc is counting on that response...me too. Chemo can really kick your bum, can't it?? Well...here is to another day that I am feeling better...I will leave all the weepiness for the nights when I sneak in here for my comforts. Big hugs...Cella
