Dear Gayle, I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling that great, but I'm glad it's not as bad as it could be. I hope the ear-ringing stops and you get over the hay fever feeling soon!

Hate that you are feeling poorly. My mother in law is here on holiday and has had cancer 3 times. Twice with breast cancer, but is now in her late 70's and has been cancer free for 6 yrs. now. I asked her if she had any tips on getting through the side effects of chemo and she highly suggests that you Google Essiac Tea, swears that it helped her tremendously. She also said CBD oil is suppose to be very helpful but has no experience using it personally as she did not know of it at the time. Anyway, you might benefit from the Essiac tea, it is available in Canada and she got hers at health food stores on Vancouver Island. I am not sure if this helps but I sure am wishing you well and hope you are feeling better soon. p.s. Please don't worry about your hair, I'll bet you'll look fabulous.

Thank you Mon for asking your MIL for tips for me. I had actually just been reading about the Essiac tea, so it's good to know that someone used it and found it helpful. I'm on the wait list for CBD oil from Hempworks, theirs is pure with no THC.

Have found that diaper rash cream is really good for my sore nose. Had a few nose bleeds and several very sore spots. Never even thought of losing my nose hair, without it come a whole host of aggrevations.

Going into what is considered my good week. When you start to feel better because the chemo is mostly out of your system. Next treatment is August 21.

Head shave is tomorrow, Monday, afternoon.

Chemo Round 2 is tomorrow. They're going to cut back the drug that caused my ear pain/ringing by 20%, we'll see if that helps. Head shaved last Monday, today, the fuzz that's left is falling out like snow falls. Still have eyebrows and eyelashes for now.

Thank you all for your support and kind words. I truly appreciate the time you take to lift my spirits. I'm feeling very alone in this and rereading your comments helps when I'm down.
