My whole legs are pretty swollen and just walking makes my muscles ache! Grrrrrr, it's very frustrating. I have requested some tablets from the doctors which will hopefully help a bit. This Docetaxel is a funny one.....just when you think you are over one side effect, it throws something else at you! Oh well, only one more to go :-). So far I have gained 8lb's each cycle of Docetaxel.....I am vowing not to eat this cycle because if I put on another 8 I will have no clothes to wear!
I had a great night out on Saturday with lovely friends. It was nice to get out. My fake eyelashes lasted the night and were very comortable.
My eyebrows are unfortunately still shedding, in fact the only remaining hairs are those unruly ones that stick up and curl in crazy directions.......typical.
In contrast to my deminishing eyebrows, my head hair is making a comeback with a fury. Just as well as I am sick, sick, sick of hats and scarves. I'll have another few months of them I guess, until my crew cut thickens up a bit. There is a small chance it may all fall out after my op.....apparently the general anaesthetic can do that.
Right, goodnight from me and my shrek feet.

It's good to hear that you're getting out and enjoying yourself this week, even if your legs are hurting. Lx
ReplyDeleteHow frustrating! Painful legs....even if you felt like doing something it would be hard work.
ReplyDeleteI have to say your toenails are looking remarkably attractive and are the perfect accessory for your swollen ankles. Shrek has got nothing on you ;)
It must be the last chemo this week?
Yee haa!
Get it over and done with! Time for the next phase.
Keep going
