It's a go!

I just got my bloodwork results back. Everything looks normal. Platelets are 165, white blood cells, neutrophils, electrolytes all good! No wonder I've been feeling OK. I actually started an experiment last Friday, and today I should have the results. I haven't done an experiment in so long so it feels good to start up again.

My hair is doing some weird things though. My eyebrows are continuing to fall out, the ones in the middle, but it looks like the ones below it, the ones I usually pluck and some new ones are growing in. There's also the growing/falling out going on with the hair by my knuckles. Usually, I don't even notice them. Over Christmas, I cut my long hairs so that they don't fall below the nape, makes it easier to keep the wigs on. Some of the hairs are growing back in there, too. Some peeling going on, but then I haven't been putting on the vitamin E cream for a while.

I've been wearing the reddish brown wig lately. I was at New York and Company. This one woman kept staring at me. It's true she was waiting in line for the dressing room, but I could tell she was following me around so I stared at her right back. Still couldn't figure out why she was staring.

Had my bust shot taken by Shirl. Just took my steroid. All set for tomorrow. Chemo #5.
