Wow, this one packs a punch. To the can is accurate and the rash was glorious. Good to be mean to the cancer, but I didn't really care for it to much. My chest, back, and head got the brunt of it. My scalp took the worst by far. I didn't know weather to itch or to ignore the pain. It is like a really bad sunburn on the head, but with little sores. Not really comfortable. I have cream for the face and body that helps quite a bit, but know I am going to switch to head and shoulders shampoo to help the scalp from itching and the zinc will help with the pain. Bleeding happens easier, constantly having nose bleeds and bleeding from the mouth when brushing my teeth. It's also a longer treatment at Huntsman, just around 6 hours or so, sometimes longer. We were there from 9:00 am to 5:00 this last Friday and even longer the first time for the load up dose. It wears me out.
I had a fantastic Easter. Wendy came from California to see us and it was a blast. It was just like having all those good conversations sitting out on the porch having a few drinks and watching the kids play. Well now we are older and the kids don't really need to be watched much anymore, but the drinks and conversation went just like old times though. We had a big sit down dinner with all of us, Wendy, and Cari and Steve came over with the kids. Many games of PIG on the basketball court were had.
I hope all of you had a wonderful Easter, and as always thank you for reading and caring. Talk to you later.

Hey Jeffey (and Cheryl),
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I've seen or talked to either of you.
Life deals us some unexpected blows sometimes, and for the record, I think it stinks! But I'm glad to see you aren't letting it keep you down.
I was also very sorry to hear/read about your dad. My condolences to you and your family.
Thanks for creating your blog! It's good to be able to read your updates and know how you are doing.
My how Paige has grown since I last saw her. She is a beautiful young lady.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!
Love and hugs, Teresa
