Carolin's New Hobby

The lovely summer of 2004 came to an abrupt end when Carolin was diagnosed with cancer. What follows are the random thoughts and experiences of the Camerons as Carolin fights back.

Hair loss

Well yesterday I started losing my hair. Great mounds on my pillow in the morning. I'm am going to hold off shaving it just in case only half falls out. After radiation my new hair is not supposed to come back in nice for a while. Kind of the baby fuzzy, thin, curly stuff. Yuck!!! Maybe if all my new straight hair doesn' fall out it will help camoflage the bad stuff growing in. I am wearing bandanas again just to keep the hair from falling all over my clothes and the house.

The second thing is I have "fat face". The steroids are making me retain water. My face looks quite like a bowling ball. But they are weaning me off the steroids and I should be done in about 20 days. So 20 or so more days with fat face and balding head. Good thing I have a sense of humor!!

Bye for now.

Love Carolin
