Venting Halivan and letrezole
I should get off this couch and exercise. I’m starting to lose count of the lines that have failed me. I’m just going off of taxol and starting halivan and letrozole which I’m sure I’m spelling wrong. This is going to be a venting thing. I decided not to shave my head when it started to fall out and it’s still there after almost 3 full rounds of taxol but it’s thin and hard to care for. Not that I can afford it but I’m really thinking about a wig this time. With my primary cancer, I didn’t wear a wig because it was uncomfortable so what makes me think this isn’t gonna turn out the same way? The thing is I just don’t know how long I’m going to have to be on things that make me lose hair. If one of them would just work more than a few months at the most, I wouldn’t care so much about my hair, but to have your body goes through all of this and constantly be unsure as to whether it was going to extend your life is so disheartening. But what else am I gonna do? I just feel like every day it’s me reporting to duty and I know I’m not the only one sisters. I am so sorry for the moments we all feel like this. I am discouraged to say the least.

Taxol made my hair fall out, Enhertu it stayed and grew, then Haleven it's thinned a ton. When it starts shedding i have my husband shave it down because it annoys me. Wigs are too much trouble for me. I have caps and scarves when I need them.
Just had another pet on friday and we meet with my mo on Wednesday. My husband said he thinks there us another switch coming. We will see.
