Breakfast-In-Bed on Mother's Day

I posted this on Facebook on Mother's Day, but I'll re-post it here.

My cute little family greeted me as I awoke this morning with hugs and cuddles. When I commented to Anthony that my eating habits prevent me from having the standard breakfast-in-bed of bacon, eggs and pancakes, my cute son immediately disappeared and returned with a breakfast in bed that I could eat - pistachios and a banana (and bread, which I had to pass on). Such a loving act from such a wonderful son!

By the way, noticing my awesome morning hair (it's usually far crazier), makes me remember to share this story. I keep touting that I have had no noticeable hair loss from chemo. A few weeks ago I told Anthony that the chemo had strangely turned my eyebrows blond. Then a few days ago I finally realized that they're not blond, they're non-existent! My eyebrows are so thin that they look blond and my eyelashes are so thin I haven't bothered wearing mascara for a couple of months. It just took me a while to realize that it was hair loss from the chemo. This makes me wonder how crazy my morning hair will be when my thick hair returns with all those short little new shoots coming in! I've read that regrowth can start 1-3 months after chemo ends. As for the short do, kid A wants me to grow it long again, but I like the convenience of short hair and Anthony likes the look, so I think it will stay.

Last news bit. I've been on hormone therapy for 2 weeks now. What is hormone therapy? It's called Tamoxifen and it's a small white pill I take once a day. My understanding is that it doesn't prevent my body from producing estrogen, but rather inhibits certain cells (like cancer) from absorbing estrogen, while allowing other cells (like the heart) to still get it. So far my biggest complaint is upset stomach and a surge of insomnia. I'm not sure if I've had mild hot-flashes yet, or if I'm just not loving the warm weather we're getting now. I'm also not sure if I'm feeling moodier, or if it's just due to some missed sleep. But I have definitely embraced this new therapy. As I continue to have some back/bone/muscle pains, it gives me comfort to know that I am doing something to combat the cancer and hopefully the pains are just soreness from my workouts.

Advice request: Anyone ever been treated for diastasis? What are the pros/cons/alternatives to surgery?
