5 days in and I’m feeling ok. My toes are a little painful at times but not numb & my fingers are ok. I have found that Paclitaxel is also making me a little light headed on occasion which I don’t like. That seems to have subsided a little today so hopefully I will be ok for the rest of this cycle.
I really enjoyed Christmas Day which I didn’t think I would (I was afraid that I would keep comparing it to my pre diagnosis christmases). We had a really quiet family day which was really nice.
I am due to finish chemo mid January so really hope nothing derails this plan - my blood count was a bit lower last time so hopefully that will have resolved itself by the next check. I am eating lots of red blood count friendly fruit & veg to hopefully boost this.
I have been trying to get used to my wig in preparation for re entry to some sort of a normal life but I still don’t feel very confident in it. I keep thinking it will slide off even though it seems fairly secure. I ordered a wig grip band which will hopefully help me feel a little more confident wearing it. I haven’t lost my eyebrows or eyelashes yet but I read they can fall out even when chemo finishes - I really hope I can cling onto mine but will cross that bridge if it happens!
