Coming and going

So it's been awhile since I have posted. It seems that when I haven't blogged you can rest easy that I'm probably doing OK. I seem to find myself doing more lately--which is great. I do tire so easily, and I'm still putting on pounds. The former is because the blood counts have been low, but they are getting better now (YAY Procrit!). The latter is because I do still get steroids at each treatment. With the first round, they'd give me IV steroids and then I'd take them for 3 days after--orally. Now I just get the IV part, but I do get it every week instead of every 3rd week. Yikes, I have 8 more weeks to go, so here's to hoping it's no more than a pound a week. Even at that, I'll have some work to do on the flip side of all of this!!

The new treatment has been interesting. It seems that my hair is coming back. I have few true bald spots on my head now, and I even feel the start of stubble on my legs (drats). I don't think it'll necessarily come in thick, but it is coming in. But what's going...feeling in my fingers and toes, and along with that my hands and feet are very sensitive. Makes it hard to even walk around the house barefoot. Andthe little warning they left out--my distance vision currently sucks. I was driving home from work a week or so ago and realized that I can't read the road signs anymore. Just a big blur. I almost scheduled an appointment to get my eyes checked...good thing I didn't--they say it will come back after. So here's to hoping my vision comes back and the extra weight goes away come September...
