3 Months Completed

As of this week, I have completed three months of Interferon. I have had one month of the high dose and two months of the low dose. Since I have completed the high dose, my main side effects have been fatigued (I've been very tired these past two weeks), stomach aches, hair thinning. You can't tell by looking at me, but I can tell, that my hair is thinning. I can tell it has thinned since last summer. I have not seen any hair on my pillow, but still it is thinning. I contacted my cousin today, and next Thursday, January 24, I am getting a hair cut. I need a trim to begin with. The last time, I had it trimmed was Memorial Day weekend of last year. I am going to have my cousin cut my hair to my shoulders. That is short for me. I will have my camera and will take before and after pics. I will post them on here. Cutting my hair is going to be hard, but I think it is time.

I have been busy working as a sub. I do come home worn out. I am seeing my family doctor tomorrow, for a female exam. I will see my onc on Monday. I also will see the lymphodema specialist for the first time on Monday. I should find out on Monday, about when I will get new scans done.

Thank you for your prayers, I really do appreciate them. Please continue to pray, for my fatigue, and for when I get my hair cut next week. I know it is a vanity thing about my hair, but I have been growing it out since I was 9 years old, and I am now 36.
