Couple of post-chemo dull days

It feels like the chemo takes my 'edges' off. I feel and act kind of dull.
I also have the cold like symptoms ( congestion ) which is one of the side effects of the chemo agent. Nausea has not tapered yet although it is the 4th day.

I was actually toying with the idea of doing the Breast Cancer Awareness ride on Saturday morning but Saturday when I got up I was not feeling that well. Unfortunately all the events that I would like to go to happen to be on my chemo weekends arghh...

Saturdays highlight was a free facial that was offered by Face Logic Oviedo to Breast Cancer Patients and Survivors, it was really a treat I wish it was not 2 days after my treatment so I could have enjoyed it more. It was not like the usual complimentary spa offerings where they pamper for 15 minutes then you have to listen to sales spiel for the remaining 45. There was absolutely no sales pitch and a full hour of facial,face-arm shoulder-nect massage. And my complexion really looks better ( and if they can make a chemo skin look good and not get irritated I would say their products are pretty good )

The hair fall is getting to the point that I will need to buzz it off very soon no point in holding on.

I have a lot of cute headcovers and 2 wigs, will start making use of them. I also have the Look Good Feel Better appointment tomorrow that is an offering made by the American Cancer Society on Monday. Perfect timing I say.

Trina one of the Bobbies kindly shared the following with me, and I do agree with her it certainly sounds heavenly !

A reflection from an individual that rode cross country as a fundraiser and awareness experience.


I achieved the nirvana I was hoping for on a stretch of highway between Gordon and Valentine Nebraska : Picture gentle rolling hills stretching into the horizon under an infinite blue sky with only a hint of clouds. Crickets, grasshoppers, or locusts are chirping in unison all around you, and occasionally jump from the grass and bounce off your leg. The occasional cow ponders you suspiciously as you enter its territory. The feeling out there is remarkable – remote and serene, yet the road beneath you is a safety tether to civilization somewhere. With heart thumping, lungs expanding, and legs pounding like pistons, your bike moves effortlessly up and down as you weave through the rolling hills. With the wind whipping all around you, it’s hard to imagine that there is a care in the world, or that there ever will be…..
