It has been 9 weeks since my last TCHP cocktail. Since Herceptin is targeted therapy, it only targets the HER2 in my body, which makes my side effects very little. What is crazy is the after effects i am getting from the TCHP cocktail. My nails are NASTY! they are dead but still on my body, so they are very very brittle, yellow, just over all dingy looking. So over these. I almost want to go get fake ones to leave on until my nails come back. That and a pedicure with a dark color, as my toenails are just as bad. Tummy is still blah and my weight will not drop no matter how good i eat or how much i work out. But I have been working out :D I still have sores all in my nose and am ready to have my nose hairs back. My chin hair is back in full force, and my regular hair is coming in nicely and soooooo soft! I mean so soft! it is like rubbing a baby chick or any soft furry baby animal, as I really do not know the last time i petted a baby chick, so i could have totally made something up right there.
Sorry, i digress. My hair is coming in great! The Herceptin makes me super super tired. Like 2nd and 9 month pregnancy tired. I just want to sleep all the time and I can't! I have gotten my room ready for surgery. Little bit should start coming off the bed the right way soon. Now he is close to the ground so his damage from a fall should be at a minimum now. I have someone coming to get baby stuff.. :( WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA No more babies for me, which makes me sad.
I know I am overdoing it at the moment, just like I did when i was pregnant, but I really want things in order so i can relax and focus on getting through post op with the kids. That part makes me sad. They unknowns. I love how they both curl up with me at night but after surgery is going to be hard :( Hoping I heal quickly so I can get back to snuggling my fave two little guys!
Oh and i lost most of my eyebrows and eyelashes, that has been rough. i was more sad over those than my hair. I do NOT look like myself without makeup now. Every morning, I wake up and shower so I can put on my eyebrows. I put on eyeliner so i look like I have eyes. Who knew no lashes or few lashes made you look so ehhhhh.. I miss my thick long lashes. I now understand why women want longer fuller lashes.
I am also super sore. Achy all over like the flu. Not sure if I am coming down with something or if I am having side effects from Herceptin. B and CB both are sick, JB and I are a little run down but not sick yet. I have a feeling JB will be the last man standing. But anyway, achy. Even my bones ache. JB has been helping me stretch every day. Sweet pumpkin.
I am very thankful the side effects of Herceptin are minimum. This stuff is amazing!
Hope everyone is having a fabulous day!
Love
Jamie
