Beard Fell Out

Yesterday, from just rubbing my chin, I was finding that my beard was falling out.  It really didn't take much before I had a fist full of hair.

So I decided to shave my beard and moustache completely, as I figured it would be all over my pillow this morning if I didn't. 

I don't seem to have any other effects from the chemo other than generalized weakness.

Resting heart rate is still hovering about 110 bpm.  Next Chemo infussion is on the 4th, and there will be a blood test for that.

We had visited St. Maria Goretti Saturday, and I have some pictures to post, but that will be done later.

I also had a visited with my urologist Monday - he wants to set up an ultrasound on my kidneys as the right one had been inflamed when he did the surgery last month, and we should monitor them considering the chemo therapy and the work load they are now under.

I'm still running a bit light headed after climbing just one flight of stairs though.

  3. By the way, I should report that about three to four weeks after chemo therapy was completed, all faicisl and body hair retufned to normal growth rates. Also there is no difference in my grey vs colored ratio. It's just the same as if I did not have the taxotere. Additionally, the Zytiga that I now take seems to have no effect on hair at all.
