Cycle 2 is supposed to be today. It was postponed by 3 hours, so instead of having it now I am trying to wait patiently. It’s not that I am excited, more that I want it over with. Most of my concerns are about the cannula as I have a massive bruise where the first one had problems last time, and to even touch that part of my arm makes me jump - don’t try and come near it with a needle!
The last three weeks have been up and down. When ‘tiredness’ kicks in it is more ‘utter exhaustion’, my brain stops and it is a struggle to do anything. I have learnt to recognise when I am getting tired and I am trying to learn to stop what I am doing and rest, but it is not easy. The injections were hard work and I am not looking forward to doing them again, however all the medication seems to have done it’s job, so it is worth it.
The reason for the delay today is because I want to use the cold cap again to try to prevent hair loss. My hair has now been coming out for almost a week and whilst I am very grateful that I have always had a lot of thick hair, I am not sure that the cold cap will stop it coming out. I now have ‘not a lot’ of thick hair, but just enough that so far no one has noticed!
We have to see how it goes and take one day at a time.
