I feel like this whole past week I've been reading and lounging around, probably because that's exactly what I've been doing. I know that I should be walking and working and just moving around, but sadly, I haven't. It takes longer to get ready even if I have to just put on a wig because I still have to shampoo and condition my head and apply 5 different types of lotion to 4 body parts (my scalp, my face, my surgery scars, my legs). I've got some major bumps on my shins from scatching them when they were itchy a few days ago.
Scalp-Jason Natural Vitamin E Age Renewal Moisturizing Creme
Face-usual Oil of Olay lotion with sunscreen
Scars-Mederma and Palmer's cream with Vitamin E (given to me by surgery nurses)
Legs-Used to be Coconut body lotion, but after the scratching, I use the lotion given to me at the hospital and will change to Vaseline when I find some
I've also noticed brown marks on my fingertips. They are like light freckles. I have 3 or 4 on each of my thumbs and my right ring finger. I'll ask about them to my med onc when I see him tomorrow.
I got my bloodwork done today and have taken my steroid to prepare for tomorrow's chemo. It's already Round 3. I'll be half-way done afterwards!

It is already Round 3! Awesome. Half way there! Good luck today!
if you want super-moisturizing lotion to help alleviate the itchiness in your legs, you should try aveeno. it is very good.
Does the aveeno have dimethicone? The hospital lotion is working pretty well. No nasty ridges of bumps from my nails, just some scabs now.
It is super dry over here in Cali, so, I have been buying body butter. Great stuff. I love the coconut and satsuma flavors, although it makes me crave pina coladas and oranges all day long, respectively. Maybe I will bring some to Baltimore when I come next week. You can try it for yourself!
aveeno does have dimethicone in it. why? have you been advised to stay away from it? it's supposed to have very soothing properties.
The lotion given to me at the hospital has dimethicone, and it's worked really well so far. I guess when I run out, I can grab the Aveeno!
