Side effector

So, everyone knows chemo has side effects. Lot's of 'em. And side effects to treat side effects. It's a vicious cycle. Part of the deal, really.

Anyway, I was just sitting here thinking of how exciting it will be for them to go away. After 6 months, you hardly notice tingly hands and feet (good thing b/c they say some of that will remain forever. oh, well) or that you never consume anything cold anymore. You do, however, still notice your own scalp in the mirror, the lack of eyelashes, the port under my skin on my chest, the rash/acne all over my forehead, the dry patches of skin on my hands, etc; and, even tho cosmetic, thats the stuff you see when you look at yourself. It really reminds you of what you're going thru on a very surface and narcissistic level, and is the most exciting part to get rid of. Gave myself my last buzz last night, and have no idea how long until folical activity once again resumes, but the notion of it all is just so exciting. Cannot wait for hair again....thinking of growing it into some pompadour mullet something just to be extravagant with it again. maybe the hippy butt cutt again. frosted tips? perm in the back? anything is better than the chemo sizzle look.
