Not clear what color its going to be. Some of it looks blonde (or grey) but there is some dark fuzz there too. It feels a lot like peach fuzz.
Had my first triple-dose of Herceptin last Friday (that's the targeted immunotherapy one that will hopefully keep the cancer from coming back). Saturday brought very sore muscles and joints that were on fire. But I was traveling, so I was thankfully distracted. I also started the Tamoxifin (that's the one I stay on for 5-10 years). Not a big fan. The doctor warned that it would make my feet and ankles swell. He didn't mention I'd develop full blown cankles. I think I'm more upset about my new elephant legs than I was about losing hair. (No, I will not post a picture). But hey, its not cancer, so in the grand scheme of things......
I went on my first work trip this week. Traveled back to Ft. Leonard Wood in Missouri (my least favorite place on earth) to be a "back seat driver" on a huge trial for a client I had to give up when I got sick. I didn't have to go, but I wanted to close the loop with this client, and also wanted to get back in the game. All in all it was a success, but I learned a very important lesson: I'm not ready to go back to work full time yet. I wasn't even actively litigating - I was sitting behind the bar observing and helping the attorneys who took over for me. And it absolutely exhausted me. Just being "on" that much, and driving/walking/talking for 10 hours a day. So yeah, Doug was right - I can't just flip a switch and be back to my old self. This is gonna take awhile.
