We took a quick weekend trip to Poplar Bluff to visit family. Thought it would be a good idea to visit family while I was feeling so good. Well we had a good visit, but my "feeling good" took a turn for the worst. My 3 small mouth sores turned into 5 rather large sores and a swollen right cheek. My lymph nodes under my jaw become swollen and sore. Probably totally unrelated I had a horribly stiff neck most of the weekend with significant pain. Oh ya, my hair started falling out. So much for feeling good. At least we had a good weather on Saturday, unlike the weather in Springfield.
I made a quick trip to the Dr. today, since my mouth sores seemed out of control. Guess what, I received more medicine! I am actually happy about this medicine. Something to numb my mouth so that I can eat and another that will hopefully heal my mouth sores. The bad news is that this is probably a side affect of chemo which will likely continue over the next few months.
Since my hair had started to fall out I went all out this afternoon and got my hair buzzed off! If I can get my computer to cooperate I will put up a picture.
Welcome to the buzz club :).
