So with the 1 week suspension of my treatment I get some extra days where I am on the healing side of the treatment schedule instead of the attack mode. I did some basic research to see how / what can be done to boost the platelet count and generally the suggestion was to eat […]
Treatment suspended
This morning I woke up and did my mostly normal preparations for my Wednesday treatment session. With Mother, sister and niece in tow, we headed to the facility. Unfortunately, my blood work showed a low platelets count (not dangerously low, but out of spec low) so my doctor decided to delay my 9th treatment a […]
Family arrived safe
Today my Mom, sister and niece arrived from Pittsburgh for their one week visit. It has been nice seeing them all and I look forward to an enjoyable week. Tomorrow is treatment 9. So far things have stayed pretty constant. I still have the annoying rash but it has not gotten significantly worse. The worst […]
Weekend ending
Once again things are pretty normal. Yesterday the installers came and fixed the issue with the entry door and installed the bedroom patio door. Both still need the internal trim installed and the entry door needs to be painted. Hopefully that will be done on Thursday. Family coming on Tuesday, so tomorrow after work I […]
Normal day, nothing much to say.
Today was as normal as it gets. Still getting tired of not enjoying any food. I have found that in addition to tasting citrus, I can also mostly taste bacon. So yay, another item that I can incorporate into my food prep. Cheers
Pretty uneventful day
Nothing much to say for today. Woke up, went to work, went home and napped then finished work. Played a few hours of Civ 5. Cheers
Just another Monday
Today went pretty normally. I am still feeling pretty good for the most part with the continued rash and lack of taste. My energy level is a bit low, but I blame that on overworking last Thursday. It is like having a well of energy to draw upon, that fills very slowly. If I drain […]
Another weekend
So I have missed a few days here. Mainly it is because there isn’t much changing so things are all pretty much just rolling on. The 8th treatment seems to have gone pretty well. I put in too long of a day on the Thursday when I was wearing the pump and that has taken […]
Treatment 8 Part 1
Today (Wednesday) was the first day of treatment 8. This completes the first 2/3 of my planned course of chemotherapy. My blood work (CBC) looked good again, with a continued increase in my white blood cell count now placing it in the normal range. My Red blood cell count is still a bit low indicating […]
Just another Monday
Nothing much to say here. Monday was generally a good day. I felt fine all day and despite a disappointing lunch, my energy level was good all day and nothing eventful occurred. Cheers.
