Update

Hey all so tired, but im back but off again to the city on tuesday so will be gone for a few days again for more tests. Will be starting chemo though probably sooner than later. Not looking forward t that at all, but will do what is best for me and my family. Hope all is well with everyone. will check in tomorow though since i will still be home. HUGS

Back and forth to the "city" (no matter what city) can be a tiring experience even when we're feeling good. How far must you travel?

Not feeling very strong today, in any aspect of the word/ Really struggling to keep on going. Not a good place to be in my head right now but it is what it is i guess. Had some teeth issues and now the dentist wants to remove them all from the top, onc said no way remove what you have to leave the rest what the hell?! then they say dont worry about the dentures till after treatment...um So i am going to bald, yes it s guaranteed because of one of the chemo drugs i have to take, and toothless, and tired, and sore, and 45 and already im asking my self is this worth it? Yea, sorry not very positive today, but this really is not a happy day, doesnt help that it is raining and im bleeding like there is no tomorow from my mouth, and all i wanted was a drink of water and then this happend. Ok will check back in later, hopefully I can come through this one too and be brighter tomorow. thanks for listenening thugh it does help. Hugs

Remember this is a temporary state. I have full dentures (after many years of trying to save what I could save, until I caved in realized yucky or infected real ones were not healthy for me, nor functional, and as it turns out, dentures are pretty easy to get accustomed to).

Your hair will grow back. When I was going in for my rad treatments, I befriended another woman who also lost her hair from chemo (she's in her 30's) and she told me it actually grew back thicker.

Anything is possible.

Sometimes we have to cow girl it up to get through these rough times and keep the focus on how when this is done, we will be in a better place.

You gals are awsome i really needed to hear your kind words! going for heart test tomorow and they plan to start chemo on wensday so will be off and running again. Slept a lot these past few days after teeth were out a lot of pain, not all of them he took 7 out although he wanted take them all and the cancer dr said no it is to much trama take the prioritys out so she does not have issues with infection during chemo. You girls are wonderfuly wonderful thank you for the words of encouragement and patiencee with me as i dont log in as much as i would like to, should be better now since they are healing and the pain is not near what it was =D HUGE HUGS for all of you they are freely given.
