Since I haven't posted for nearly a week, I would imagine everyone is wondering if I'm alive and well. Yes, both. Had a couple of tired days this week - against pattern a little bit. Chemo Monday, tired Tuesday, OK Wednesday, tired again Thursday. Friday and Saturday I was fine during the day, but very tired in the evening.
But, again, that's been the limit of my side effects so far this week. No nausea, no pain. A couple incidents of calf cramps in the middle of the night, but nothing serious. So, once again, we remain thankful that things are going as well as they are.
This has been a weekend we've been waiting for at the shop - a convergence of the occasional shops, open air market and antiques show/sale typically make this one of our most active weekends of the year. Thursday and Friday were fairly quiet, due to the rain. But Saturday was quite active - we had lots of customers and had a very good day. Today is quiet again, and we'll be leaving here around 2:00 PM to go home, watch the rest of the Vikings game, possibly the end of the Twins game (if it's not already over by then), and relax with the Sunday paper.
We have noticed more hair loss -- but still overall maybe 25% of pre-chemo. Lately we've noticed a considerable receding frontal hairline. The back of my head looks like our lawn after the snowcover melts in spring and you can see the tracks left by the voles. :)
