Wow, I went the entire month of November without a blog? Thankfully I haven't had to be too worried about the cancer for a while! Here's my quick update:
Hair - yes it's finally growing! I have about as much hair on my head as when I first shaved it back in June. My eyebrows have completely grown back and I am back to shaving my legs (boo!). My eye lashes are still very sparse, but I'm hopeful they'll grow back in full force too.
Hot Flashes - Seem to be gone (but I don't want to jinx it, so I'm not saying anything more)
Herceptin - Still getting it every 3 weeks, but am not experiencing any side effects so other than the pain of going to the infusion center and getting IV'd on a regular basis it's pretty easy.
Foob - My next surgery is scheduled for Friday. I'll have the expander removed from my foob and replaced with an implant. I am very excited to have a "real" boob rather than the alien version I have now. My doctor asked, "So you want to go bigger than this one right?" Is she crazy? My foob's been bumping into things for months. No thank you! I'll keep my tiny boobies please. On the left side (my cancer-free, up-until-now-surgery-free boob) I'll also be getting an implant and a bit of a lift (boo gravity!) so my 2 girls will actually match each other. Very excited about that! After this surgery, I will probably need one surgery more after my port comes out and then I'll get a fake nipple attached to the foob (it's a nubble right now) after that. So I'm not completely done yet, but Friday's surgery will go a long way in bringing me back to normal.
