Christie,

First let me say what a beautiful country you live in, I visited there in 1989 and hope to return one day. Of all the places I visited Nairobi was my favorite.

What I did to help me drink water was to put lemon or lime juice in it. The lime juice also helped give food a good flavor. You need to drink all you can but if it gets to a point where you can not drink at all, ask your oncologist about receiving fluids. That will make you feel better in no time.

Be sure to get you a hat for the cold nights in Nairobi, it is amazing how much insulation your hair provides for warmth. A hat at bedtime really makes a difference!!

Remember, the hair WILL grow back! I actually liked mine better with the "shaved look" and have thought about going back to keeping it that way.

You are a trooper, and will be fine!!
