I'm feeling well!

Posted by Denise @denisestlouie, 15 hours ago

Hi guys. It's been awhile since I've updated you-all on how it's going. First I'm physically handling the treatments well. The worse side effect in my opinion is the lack of hair, but I don't even mind that too much. Actually I discovered wigs and I love them. They are like pets. I'm fussing with them all the time and it's fun. I have 5 now. They're all similar. I'm probably going to be a wig wearer forever even after my hair grows out. The nurse practitioner said I wouldn't lose my eyebrows and eyelashes, and she lied. I've been using eye shadow to fill my brows in, but today I realized I only have about 4 brow hairs and about the same for my lashes. But have no fear I have eyebrow tattoos and magnet eyelashes. That's me in all my stuff.

I feel so good I'm hosting Thanksgiving! I haven't been to a thanksgiving event for 4 years. 20/21 were pandemic years. 2022 I was recovering from a knee replacement and 2023 Foot surgery. Writing that just makes me feel bionic 😜
So I'm wishing you all the best and funnest Thanksgiving ever. 🦃

Just in case you all lost count Dec 9 is my last treatment!

In January I'll start a maintenance program for a year. But it won't have any of the side effects of the current treatment and I'm thankful that I have that option.

Feeling Grateful!
