Saturday through Monday

Saturday morning did a systems check and all cylinders were still firing 110%. Even though I had only slept 2 hours ( from 2 - 4 AM) but this did not worry me I got used to the 1 week no-sleeping phase after each chemo.
.
Oh and there is a peach fuzz appearing on my scalp, seems to be totally white, I heard that hair did start growing during Taxol treatment although sluggishly,and tends to come out curly. My psoriasis spots came back (the Cytoxan had treated them once that washed out of the system they are back) and I am losing the clear complexion too, breaking out a bit. Oh well.. it is a good sign that the drugs are getting washed out of my system.
.
Did a short walk with Candy, even though I felt good I do not like doing cardio the week following chemo, my body is already busy with all the toxins there is no point into introducing additional stress.
Then headed off to the Kundalini Yoga session. By the time I came back I started feeling weak and went to Blockbuster rented off a couple of movies to keep me busy the coming 2-3 days.

Took the hint from my body to start shutting down, basically just moped around Saturday and Sunday allowing myself to do absolutely nothing.. going on online chat rooms for hours,getting a lot of reading done. After this was my last chemo so decided to take the down time as really down.
.
Monday was pretty much the same. This time since I did not get the Neulesta shot the side effects were a lot less and keeping off my feet somehow helped me avoid severe GI problems, I still was not 100% comfortable but it was a lot better than the last times but did not have enough to log onto work and get stuff done.
.
There was a book that my coach had given me last year Peace,Love and Healing.. interestingly I had seen the same book at my counselors office, so decided to read it and could not put it down. It is about the mind-body connection, how to connect with the subconscious and its effects on healing, a pretty old book but the principles clicked with me.
.
Monday night while trying to find a way to go to sleep got pretty creative and realized the peach fuzz that was trying to grow on my scalp aha.. so hair is trying to grow back on Taxol. Decided to take weekly pictures of the hair growth.
