I've Got a New Attitude! šµš¶
I am relaxing at the Chemo cafe with some Starbucks. I am dying to try some local coffee that my relatives out West sent me. I was planning to make some and bring it with me for a Chemo treat, and I totally forgot about it in the morning rush. So, it will be a weekend treat for me. Not much to report today, but I loved this saying my sister sent to me a couple of minutes ago. It sums up how I am feeling lately. I have been in a really good mood the past few days. Could be that the weather is cooling down and fall is in the air. But I think that is combined with a new attitude toward this cancer. The doctor in charge of the chemo patients today just came by to look at the rash on my head. He said it could be the immunotherapy but that symptoms usually donāt appear this quickly. He gave me two creams, a steroid and an antibiotic, to put on my scalp, so we will see if that helps this next week. Really hoping that it doesnāt come back, get worse, or spread to other parts of my body. Ugh. Not the worst symptom in the world to have, but it is just ugly, and without hair and with this extra weight, and eyebrows that are thinning out, not feeling too attractive already. Maybe my wigs that are showing up today will make me feel better (fingers crossed!), especially since it is date night at the movies tonight! I am trying to prepare myself to just relax this weekend despite having lots of things I want to do. No real weekend plans other than tonight, so I should be able to take it easy on my rougher days this weekend. I got the immunotherapy this week, so I am anticipating getting knocked down a little extra over the next couple of days. But then I have a week off of chemo the next weekend, so things should get better. Plus, three of my cousins will be coming to visit me next weekend, and I am looking forward to that!
