Anyone experience hair coming back after chemo?
I am 8 treatments in (of 12) and now really seeing the hair get thin. Also, chemo has done weird things to my appetite. When "on the pump" I get this weird taste in my mouth and I need to eat something every few hours or I get nauseous. So...what's happened is i have been eating a lot of carbs (pizza, bagels, pasta) that I normally NEVER eat. Add to that, it's hard to get any real exercise in because I am either in chemo week (with pump) or recovering from it (feeling weak and crappy)
The end result: I put on 20 lbs since my surgery in Nov. Crimey!
I know I shouldn't complain. These are vanity issues, but I'd like to get my body and hair back when this friggin nightmare is over
Any ideas, stories to share?
thanks for listening.
