Tidbits.
I knew I looked odd with the loss of hair, but realized last night, I have no eyelashes and minimal eyebrows not. Weird. No eyelashes means more likely to get "things" in my eyes. They do have a function. There are other places where hair has real function besides style. I'll leave it at that.
My oral chemo seems to continue to mute/alter my taste, which finding something truly tasty is a challenge.
Hemorrhoids. I feel for anyone that suffers from these. Between my prostate/urination issue and chemo effects, Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire is a song that comes to mind often.
Transplant
I went through a day long battery of tests and evals on Tue in conjunction with moving forward on the transplant front. Pulmonary, urology, echocardiogram, chest and head x-rays, 17 vials of blood for a blood workup, yes 17 vials!
This culminated in a session with the transplant doctor sharing I have 3 donors that are a 8/8 match from the donor database and can proceed with the transplant once other things happen. There is another pre-transplant infusion treatment to prep the body for the transplant. I also have a bodily plumbing/prostate issue I need to get sorted out, hopefully in the next couple of weeks.
God
A good friend shared these references. Perhaps they'll encourage you in your challenges today.
