Side Effects...

They've warned me of many side effects from the chemo, but this one is weird. A couple weeks ago I treated myself to a manicure. No clipping, no filing, just a basic polish. I noticed a couple days ago that the ring finger on my left hand was sore, tingly, and looking weird so I removed all the polish on Tuesday. What I found underneath was small black dots on my other fingers (which I was warned about) and on my ring finger, it was almost purple. Now (a couple days later) it's very swollen and it's purple and white. Very strange looking, as if I've had some type of trauma to my finger. Unless somebody took a hammer to it in my sleep, I don't recall anything happening to it. However, I go to see Dr. Hui at 9:30 this morning and hopefully she'll be able to help me with this one. I hope I don't get a shot :(

Today is about PERSEVERANCE. I will fight this cancer head on without looking back. Maybe there are side effects, so what! We'll deal with them as they come. Bring 'em on!

Peace to you all ♥ Love, Genie
