I know it has been a while since I have posted. I am sorry. September was a busy and exhausting month for me. So here's an update:
Kids started school the beginning of the month. I can't believe I have 2nd grader and 5th grader!!! Both boys are loving their teachers and for the most part are adjusting back to school well.
Baelor had a birthday the middle of the month! He enjoyed everything about his birthday. Friends, family and good times.
I had my scans the middle of the month. (the day before Baelors birthday). Everything came back good. no progression. Which is what we always strive for.
I had my last infusion the middle of the month. This time it kicked my butt. The head sores have been horrible. There have been many days that I have just cried because it is so painful. I have been unable to put my head under the shower head because of the pain. I cant even describe the feeling. There is scabing, there is pulling. I am losing my hair (not all of it just areas of it.) I have been put on numerous medications, ointments, creams, oils, drops in hopes of clearing it up. I have shed many tears over my hair. The oozing is finally starting to slow down and I think I have finally turned a corner.
I am embarrassed by my hair, I am sad that it is falling out. I know I shouldn't be.
I know it will all be okay. But honestly, the head sores have been tough. I am more depressed than I have been, I am sad. I am sad that my head is starting to feel better and I have another treatment this week. So, although I am happy that it is feeling better I am sad that I know it won't last long. I will take it while I can.
I am realizing this is one more thing that this horrible disease has taken from me.
I am going to try and get better about posting regularly. Thank you for everyone that has checked in on me when I have posted. I appreciate it.
And here is my shameless plug for my walk. I am a long way from my goal. I know times are tough for so many. But any amount big or small is much appreciated.
