One Month Post Round 6

Am feeling better and better each day, although I still have Chemopause-related hot flashes throughout the day and night. Boohiss.

I’ve been on potassium supplements for a while now, and finally admitted to the oncologist at the last appointment that I was having trouble getting the pills down (they’re enormous). So he gave me a prescription for the supplements in effervescent tablet form and I am having a much easier time with them. They are orange-flavored and not entirely nasty (kind of a Sunkist soda flavor rather than a Tang orange flavor).

Speaking of things that are entirely nasty-tasting, I went to the hospital’s diagnostic center last week to pick up the contrast I have to drink before Monday’s CT/CAT scan. The woman who gave me the contrast said that she just ran out of the flavored contrast and wouldn’t be getting any more in because it’s too expensive. Ugh. So I can’t escape the foul-tasting contrast as long as I do the tests at the hospital.

My peach fuzzy hair is getting longer! It’s closing in on half-an-inch long. But it’s still completely white.
