So scary. I am 2 weeks out from treatment and still not feeling great! The doctors say I will have a petscan in 2.5 months to determine if I am cancer free! Praying that is the case! Good luck to you!

Question? Did you lose your hair during your treatment ? I did not lose mine but every day when I brush my hair it seems more and more is coming out. Will this stop?

I agree - this whole thing is very scary! I am 4+ weeks out from last treatment and just starting to feel like an operational human being. Most noticeable change is ability to get around without feeling like I'm going to fall on my face. I've been so weak and being mostly bedridden for several months resulted- to see in a trip to the ER last weekend and an overnight stay due to a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in my lung) plus blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) in my legs. So, I would advise you - and myself, in hindsight - to move around the best you can, even if it's minimal, to avoid this life-threatening complication.

My scans are being scheduled now - CT scan and ultimately a pelvic MRI. More anxiety.

Praying hard for you and myself - we will get through this.
