Going back to work!!!

Question

Hey Cysters!
I'm 7 weeks post-chemo and I'm going back to work Monday! I am so happy to be going back. My hair is already starting to grow back in, too. I have a soft fine fuzz about 1/4" long all over my head, and my eyebrows/eyelashes are coming back in, too. So to those of you starting into or are still taking chemo, hang in there. It isn't easy, but there is life afterward.....

I wasn't sure there was life after chemo but I'm 4 months post and feel better every day.  Still some weird after effects, weepy eyes, neuropathy of the feet, fingers and tip of my tongue, but I went for my first hair cut yesterday (well a trim) and my usually striaght hair is super curly!  I spent a whole day today with my 2 1/2 year old grandson and am none the worse for the wear (tired 'cause I'm old, not because of chemo).  All we can do is hang in there--but hang onto the fact that every day you will feel better!

I'm happy that your feeling so well and that your hair is starting to come back - feels good, huh? I'm 6 months out of chemo and my hair is about 2-3inches long and curly - it's a nice change from Bald though, so I won't complain! I hope you've taken enough time for yourself to fully recover from all you've been through - it's a tough journey, one which needs to be recovered from not only physically, but mentally too. Don't push yourself too much, but enjoy getting back to "normal". Congrats!

Forgot to add, my last bloodwork was good. No more anemia and no more Aranesp shots! Last CA 125 was 10.1.

Going back to work!!!
