So, I have had lived through greater or lesser trials the past two years — hair loss, dry skin, rashes, mouth sores, sore back and neck, no driving allowed….so it seems pretty petty that seeing the most gorgeous grapefruit sorbetto pass my lunch table at Barolo really bummed me out. What is it about grapefruit and cancer drugs?? You’d think grapefruit would be good for us! Sigh.

Speaking of tarceva and side effects, my hair is starting to thin alarmingly. I think I will be getting the squirrel out for spring (for those of you who didn’t read my early blogs, I have a wig named the “squirrel” and one named the “red fox.”. It’s really too bad, it is getting pretty long…just really thin.

Have my next doctor’s appointment on March 16, and then my next set of scans three weeks after that. So far I feel pretty good, and aside from my mostly joking complaints I think I am doing well. My kidneys seem to be behaving themselves, and my liver is in good shape (hooray for wine!). Keeping fingers crossed.
