I have already had deaux other posts about chemo. This is another.
One oddball ailment caused by chemo is dry skin, well….dry everything. Dry skin, dry tongue, dry nasal passages, dry eyes,….you get the idea. I have also lost all feeling in fingertips because of this. My skin, at my fingertips, has contracted enough that my fingertips have fallen asleep. This has been ongoing for about four months now. The only feeling is pins and needles. I have also mentioned my hairloss. Well, I am almost officially Lord Voldermort. My eyebrows are almost completely gone. What is left is very blond. I did not know that my dad’s nickname for me, ‘Snake’, would be profetic. I have had gastrointestinal issues as well. I’ll just stop on the first syllable, gas. ’nuff said there. My tastes have changed as well. I have very definate food cravings during treatment. Those cravings change as treatment progresses.
