Just checking in...

[Minniemay]

I haven't been here for a while...it seems that after receiving my positive prognosis (CA125 down to 9!!) I just couldn't read about OV for quite a long while. I had posted in my last one how I didn't feel I had anything to offer now, which I probably still don't, but I think I simply didn't want to think about those things anymore. That feeling of "well it's all behind me now"....of course, once I was thinking rationally again I realized that I will always be considered a cancer patient, even though in full remission.

I have some what I call "pig bristles" coming in on my head, but I can see it's going to take some time....so much for a full head of hair by Christmas! I still get somewhat tired, but the autumn season plays heck with allergies...that makes me want to sleep a lot! That's my story & I'm sticking to it :D. It's also become pretty chilly & really gloomy today & that doesn't help me to feel any added energy. As I just replied to another on here, one day at a time!

Hi Minniemay, yes its baby steps and one day at a time when you finish treatment You still feel tired and it takes a while to build up some stamina. I hope you are taking time out to get out for small walks and enjoy the glorious colours of autumn. The hair will come on, when you wash it massage the head well with conditioner, this will help the hair to come on. Wishing you the best and do pop in now and again to chat to us

As I read your words they echo how I am at the moment... Extremely tired neuropathy in my toes and hair that I refer to as bum fluff lol.... It's also very white and can't be seen unless you look closely... Think the worst thing is the crying I cry at everything I'm ridiculous 😂

[Minniemay in reply to Shellygirl]

I've become more emotional lately & what little "bum fluff" I have on my head is white also! I was going gray, kind of that silvery look around my face, but not the rest of the head....this new look should be interesting! Of course at this point I will be happy with any color as long as I grow hair....

I can understand you not wanting to be reminded. It's important to get on with your life. It's a while yet till Christmas. My hair came back long before my stamina did.
