Cruel Summer

I am starting to think that this is the hottest summer I've ever experienced. It is quite warm in So Cal, but no, Southern California is not experiencing unusually hot weather. It is my body that is producing all the heat these days.

"Chemo-pause" is waking me up in the middle of the night and causing the sweat to bead up on my forehead in the middle of the day. Wearing wigs doesn't help, but just a thin scarf will do it these days.

I don't believe this is permanent which is why I'm still calling it chemo pause and not the dreaded M-word. I'm only 44 (well ok, 45 next month but who's counting?). This will pass, I'm sure, and I'll get to go through this all over again in a few years. It is good to have a sense of humor about these things, but a good night's sleep would help in this area.
