I have already given my spiel of the various and sundry side effects I have with chemo.  I will not re-hash that, but will update.  Insomnia is still horrific.  I am now taking two separate pills to help me sleep.  They sort of work.  I still turn red, just not as bright.  I have lost my hair, even the stubble.  I grow real fine ‘milk mustache’ type hair that I buzz off every week or so.  My head is very smooth.  I have also lost hair in places that I was told I would not lose hair!  My eyebrows and eyelashes are thinner.  I have lost hair on my arms, legs, knuckles (yes, I did have hairy knuckles), hands, and other regions of my anatomy as well.  I really did not think hair loss would this traumatic!  Even the cat is laughing at how much I shed!

Multiple chemo trips does take its’ toll.  I am very tired, don’t have much energy, but I can’t sleep.  So, I piddle around the house and get a little done, catch up on some stuff, and may get larger tasks done later in  the week and generally post run-on sentences.  Debbi claims I am irritable and cranky, but I still think that is just her.
