Wow, two blogs in two days...I'm on a roll! Actually, I can't sleep (thanks to the steroid) and so I thought I would follow up with some news from my oncology nurse yesterday. When I went to have my treatment I told her all about my cancer cells increasing and she said that it was pretty amazing that I have been on Avastin for 11 months, that most patients usually hit the 6 months point and they're changing out their meds. She proceeded to tell me not to be discouraged, that they may end up changing my meds 2, 3, 4 times during this process, that this is just the way chemotherapy works. I asked her if I would definitely lose my hair again and she said absolutely not, that it all depends upon the chemo, that with some you don't lose your hair at all. YAY!! She asked what I was switching to, but I told her that Dr. Hui hadn't decided yet, but that I would know in a couple weeks, when I start my next cycle. She also informed me that my schedule would probably change too, and that my side affects may be different. I'm so glad that she had the time to go over everything with me, it really made me feel a lot better.
Peace to you all ♥ Love, Genie

I am thrilled to see you blogging again....I was so worried, even though I knew what was going on. :-)
ReplyDeleteAs hard as I am sure it is, think of your hair loss in a positive way......if you are losing hair, the chemo is working. (remember?)
Love you lots. Hope I see you soon.
Love, me (your 32 yr friend)
