Well, this blog just went over 20,000 views!!!  I can't comprehend that at all.  I don't get it, but here I go with another post.
So far, doubling up with my med for itching, has worked well, but I still itch enough that I have scratch marks all over my body still.  Some pretty bad ones on my back.  I will have to talk to her next time I see her about this.  
By doubling my medication for itching, it didn't come with out a cost.  My ankles balloon up and my knees and legs (not as bad as my ankles) also get swollen.  I am quite bothered by it and have to keep putting my legs up to help them go down a little.  In the mornings they are fine.  My doctor gave me a water pill and potassium to take to help the swelling to go down which really works good...
My body hair is coming back!  I am getting eyebrows back and eyelashes and with that comes leg hair and etc.  (I didn't miss not having the rest).  With that said, that must mean that where I lost head hair, it must be growing back also, so hopefully I will have my  thick head of hair back.  Unfortunately it isn't the same hair I lost, since it is soooooooo curly.  I mean corkscrew curly. and absolutely no way to fix it that I know of except just gel it and let it do it's thing.  But I do have hair.  I am thankful for not being bald anymore.
I am so happy for the next two Holiday months!!  Yay!  I am pretty much done Christmas shopping.  I want to wrap presents!!
My life changed dramatically on Mother's Day 2013.  Three days later I was diagnosed with cancer from my physician. This blog was made to keep my family and friends informed to what has been happening to me the past few weeks.  When I find out news from different Doctor's through all of the procedures I have had, so many of you have wanted me to text, email, call, or someway contact you.  It humbles me how many of you are concerned. Sometimes I forget to contact some of you.  This way, you can stay in touch with what is happening now. Please feel free to comment.  I hope I have it set up so you can.  If not, I will ask Emily my daughter to help me, since she helped me get this set up.
