My second week of radiation on my hip started yesterday, and I am doing very well. I can tell my hip socket doesn't hurt as much, and I am praying that with the radiation and chemo, the bone cancer won't spread to any other locations.
The chemo treatment for me is all in pill form instead of IV infusion which is much more convenient than having to stay in Tulsa. I have to admit that I put off taking the chemo pills for as long as I could because of the possible side effects. So far the supplements that the naturopathic doctor has given me seem to have reduced the these side effects. There is a naturopathic type of lollipop called "Queasy Pops" that comes in nine delicious flavors including green tea and ginger. It's amazing how well it works.
I have been tying a bath towel around my head to see how I will look in a scarf. The glasses are kind of funky, but I think the shape of my head is OK. I heard that the reason you should wear a cotton scarf, is because when you are bald, the scarf won't slide around as much. The fabric is also more "breathable" which keeps your head cooler.
