This little fan is just so cute. Its a little cow with a propellers on its
head. I picked this one up at the dollar store. I've seen a variety of
them around town but the cow is the cutest I've seen. This little guy fits prefectly in my purse. I take it with me everywhere. It is soooo good for those hot summer days or those pesky cancer hot flashes. Since none of our cars have AC's its good to have. =)
That brings me to Cancer!
There are lots of things that no one tells you when you have cancer. Then there are little suggestions that other patients tell you along the way. This is one of those suggestions another patient told me about while we sat in the chair.
"Ya need to get a small hand held fan. When those hot flashes start you'll use it. Believe me honey, YOU'LL USE IT!"
I've been looking for one ever since.
It is funny when your going through chemotherapy and radiation you start
having hot flashes. I thought hot flashes.. no problem,
so I get a little hot! Laughing NOW.....not then.
None of my doctors explained
that the hot flashes come on really fast and you get so hot that you get
dizzy and start to pass out. After chemo they started to slow down. But, when I started radiation the hot flashes amped back up again. I had radiation in the middle of winter.
When we left the house my mother would be wearing a heavy coat because it was
30 degrees outside. I was wearing a t-shirt and complaining that it was too hot outside. I'm so glad that they are starting to slow down again just in time for summer.
WOW! Hot flashes another cancer side effect!!
Meow!! my lovely's.
