    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.

    I can't imagine what you are going through but maybe one day I will. So sorry for all the freaky stuff you must endure but it seems to be the best protocol Drs. have to offer and I am sure you will get through this with flying colours. You just hang in there and know that we all have your back here at Pet Talk and are wishing the best for you every single second. Sending the biggest, heartfelt hug,brave girl 🌹❤️
