He is wise to shave off his hair and be done with it for a number of reasons. As it happens I have so much hair that though I lost and lost and lost hair I never managed to lose enough to make the wig I was talked into buying actually fit. Well that was last time and this time I lose hair but not very much. The endless falling falling falling of hair is depressing and if it's constant it is far better to remove it. A number of men at the [Anglican] cathedral [in D.C.] have done the same and it always seems surprising to me that it comes back so quickly. The weight loss is troubling and the chemotherapy caused nausea is the most disheartening aspect of the treatment-it is just awful. Anything that he can do to relieve it should be done without hesitation. You should be totally and unreservedly on board for that. Nausea is the great enemy of recovery, believe me. <br /><br />--DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029129453140655773.post-91767136075922852412010-08-03T06:39:47.980-05:002010-08-03T06:39:47.980-05:00hello Michael-Yesterday's Diane Rehm show on N...hello Michael-Yesterday's Diane Rehm show on NPR had a panel discussion of bladder cancer which might interest you-it's very easy to access it just google the Diane Rehm show and you will see the little calendar and click on Monday Aug 2. Your blog is interesting and I wonder if you try mint and camomile tea-chilled-for your nausea. My form of chemotherapy has an opposite effect and I have to try hard NOT to gain weight! <br /><br />Also do you have an ipod? One of the many improvements for me as I do chemotherapy this time around is the ipod. As soon as the IV is in place I put my headphones on and the sense of music streaming directly into my brain and body superceeds the awareness of the chemicals. <br /><br /> I send you greetings and cheer you on from Washington-I knew you long long ago. Please greet Marilyn for me too. I am in email contact with your father who introduced me to your blog.elizabeth penningtonnoreply@blogger.com
