I'm listening to Indigo Girls, can you tell? :)
Well, this whole experience is the journey of a lifetime and always changing. Last week, seemingly out of nowhere, my hair started falling out in huge chunks. Woah!!! When I took my hair down last Thurs., I realized I had a big chunk of hair missing in the back. I was quite traumatized, especially since hair loss is not common with interferon treatment and why is it starting now? I'm going to have to go get my hair cut soon to even it all out. Hopefully, the hair loss slows down... from what I have read, I probably won't completely lose my hair. My doctors are also going to check my thyroid levels on Friday to see if they're O.K. I've lost 20 pounds since December. Hair and weight loss are common side effects with thyroid problems, which can be a side effect of interferon treatment.
I'm really looking forward to going to the Deepak Chopra conference next week. I'm trying to not focus on how much I will miss Todd and the kids and focus on this amazing opportunity to be immersed into a healing and nurturing setting. I need to continue my treatments while I'm there, so I'm really hoping I feel O.K.!
I have lots more things I want to add, but I'm not feeling like my thoughts are flowing very well today. I will post more later...
xoxo
