Chemotherapy Completed

Chemotherapy is finished and my hair is starting to come back. I have eyebrows again and there's a visible fuzz of hair on my head, which is very soft. Not sure how quickly it will come back, never having grown a new head of hair before, but I'll still need my hat wardrobe.

Appointments this week for CT and bone scans. My oncologist will have the results of these when I see her the week after next. The CT scan doesn't take long, after drinking a barium liquid in advance and then getting an injection of dye. The bone scan takes longer; there's a 2 hour wait after some sort of radioactive injection. The scan itself takes 20 minutes of staying very still, a good opportunity for meditation.
