My hair has grown about 2 inches, 5cm, which has been great, as I do not need to wear a wig, hats etc at home!  But, now I think it is starting fall off…  They said, my hair would fall off during this chemo, but as it has not happened, yet, I thought maybe it would not.

Oh well, it would fall off during the high dose chemo anyway, so I suppose it is not the end of the world.

The 4A PMitCEBO went ahead on Monday.  The boosting had worked, and my body was full of white blood cells and neutrophils.  My mouth ulcers were not healed, yet, and still a little painful.  But, the consultant reviewing me thought it was safe to go ahead with the chemo.  I was not looking forward to it, but still happy there were no more delays.

The chemo was OK, although I had to wait to for my drugs most of the day, and the chemo did not start until about 15.30.  It was a long day.

I am going to have my blood counts checked again this Friday to see if I am neutropenic or not.

My next chemo is actually on Tuesday as I am off to the Sutton branch of Royal Marsden to discuss the stem cell transplant this Monday.

The consultant said that I may only need to 4 cycles of this PMitCEBO.  If so, the Tuesday 4B would be my last one.  I am not putting my money on it…

The mouth ulcers are getting better every day.  I have not needed pain killers since Sunday evening.  And, I can almost taste food again!

I have been really tired lately, and falling asleep everywhere, busses, tubes, waiting rooms, sitting by my computer…  And, I sleep like a log during the night!  I am so used to getting very little sleep thanks to the steroids, so all of this is very strange to me.
