Felt surreal

I still get a surprise when I see my reflection as I forget that I look so different. I still feel like the same person but have not looked like 'me' for 6 months now. I am now starting to transform back but will go through a few different looks along the way, no doubt. I joke about getting to the Pink rockstar look by about Feb. Only I will have a greyish version! It is hard though and a constant reminder of what I have been through this year. I found that exercise really helped to keep my weight gain to a minimum. But towards the end of chemo I had trouble with fluid retention. Despite being careful eating wise and exercising when I could, I put on a little weight. The good news is that by the end of radiation that extra weight was all gone. I am hopeful that the tamoxifen will not cause havoc with this. I keep exercising and feel better for it anyway! I don't know if your head is sore but mine was when I lost my hair. It settled after a week or so. Glad to hear you felt ok in your scarf. You sound so confident and determined. That attitude will help you get through anything! Good on you. Take care. Xxxxoooo Deanne
