Four month follow-up and going strong

Four months later and still UND and other than my lack of hair, am doing great.  The weight that I lost during treatment has stayed off I think mainy because this is my best weight and had gained it when I quit smoking a few years ago.  I'm feeling great, energetic and optimistic.  I "molted" so many times due to rash and skin issues, it looks like I've had work done or at least some microdermabrasions.  Hang in there, everyone, if you possibly can.  There were times that I felt that I could not go on another day so I know how hard it can be. I hope this gives some encouragement to those that are having a tough time.

Thank you for the update! I am so glad to hear you sounding so good. I also liked your comment for everyone. This tx is very hard at times and it is good to remind people that it will be over at some point and things will get better.
If that is your dog in the pix - very pretty.

Good going.
After my first tx, my hair first grew in really fine, like baby hair, before being replaced with my usual thick locks.
Thanks for posting.
It's encouraging.

Sounds like you're doing very well and I've heard the hair takes a while to come back, so don't lose faith.  I like your "molted" comment.  It's like you've done you final molt and have emerged as a new and better person, ready to take on the world.  Congrats.
