I noticed this morning that the hair on my legs and eyelashes is growing back. Oh it’s taking it’s sweet time but it makes me feel better knowing it’s making an effort.
I met with another doctor after my radiation today. I guess I see her once a week till I’m done, then see the original radiology doctor. This one today seemed to be in an awful hurry to get me out of the room. Not sure what her role is but she did ask if I was doing ok and checked my chest out to make sure I wasn’t blistering or burning. I did ask her about the hot flashes. She said they’d normally give people hormone pills for that but can’t give them to me because of my breast cancer being hormone driven. They can give me fake ones but “frankly” she said, they don’t really work. No problem, I’m not minding these and can tough it out.
I was in the grocery store this afternoon and a woman of about 65 or 70 almost bumped into me with her cart. She apologized then stopped and said “You are so pretty!” I thanked her and kept walking. My family and friends have been telling me that from the start of this cancer business but for some reason it takes hearing it from a complete stranger for it to carry any meaning. This stranger didn’t know anything about me nor what I’ve been through and she made my week.
