Needing positive stories

I thought of you, too, Karen - it was a long haul of six hours at hosptial (sometimes like that, isn't it) - needed to re=do my bloods as potassium levels up - seems the food i tolerate are high in potassium (tomatoes, citrus, bananas...) but I wondered if it were that I had taken to ingesting half a Berocca a day ever since I got anaemic and then felt so tired with my 5th dose of chemo and didn't have much 'bounce-back'. Anyway, a repeat bloods put me clear (probably as i hadn't taken the Berocca that morning!). Hope you are going well.

Mandy - one positive thing I wanted to share with you as a result of seeing my replacement onco yesterday was that he mentioned my hair should be growing back - it does so after the 4th session, it seems, for that is the point our bodies 'adjust' to the regime and start to get in the swing of it (huh!), Anyway, that accounts for why I've been scratching my head so much - yes, fluff now visible on my scalp. Well, there you go. I thought that was a positive worthy of sharing, as I hadn't expected any signs of life up on my pate for months yet, as my regular onco said the chemo lasts in your system for a couple of months following the last session, and I thought that would include hair growth. I've put on some Bio-oil, hoping it can help. Hope you are looking into the options of someone to talk to - I see both Karen and I were on the same track,

hugs
