last night I almost forgot to drink the ‘smoothie’ that I’m supposed to drink the night before and then DID forget to drink the thing I’m supposed to drink an hour before.  Didn’t realize it until I got there, had changed into the robe thing and was walking into the room with the machine and the lady ask if I took the shit and I said I forgot the one from Read the rest of this entry »

My stomach is done feeling the after affects of chemo as of the last couple days or so.  This time around was pretty much the exact same as last time.  Wednesday and friday sucked but thursday sucked the most, Saturday was better than Friday and Sunday was markedly better than Saturday, with Monday pretty much back to Read the rest of this entry »

Saw the doctor that will be overseeing or whatever the stem cell infusion, so have more info about it and the radiation treatment.  Ok, so I’ll have three total cycles of chemo which are three days in a row three weeks apart.  After the last chemo they’ll collect stem cells for 1 to 3 days probably in the third week after.  Shortly there after (3 or Read the rest of this entry »

Meant to update sooner but had a friend in town so was spending my time with him.  Anyway, the day he was driving up, Tuesday, I rubbed my buzz cut head/hair and it almost hurt a little bit and my scalp felt slightly irritated by it, “that’s not a good sign” I thought, well, took a shower and I checked my towel after drying my hair like I did Read the rest of this entry »

Had an appointment with the bone doctor surgeon guy this morning.  Talked a little, then got an X-Ray of both hips, then a few of each hip by it’s self with my leg in different positions.  He said the bone lesion couldn’t be seen in the x-ray, so it wasn’t bad enough to need surgery for a rod or plate and can be treated using radiation.  So ya, definitely Read the rest of this entry »

Thursday was probably the worst, Friday was about the same if slightly better, Saturday was a little better and today is slightly better than yesterday but still not normal.  The anti-nausea drugs seem to kinda not do anything, don’t know if I have to take more of them (pain medication in general don’t work well on me, so might be a similar deal) or what, but Read the rest of this entry »

I don’t feel like writing much so I’ll get to it, yesterday and today sucked, little worse than the normal from the original chemo but it’s not the worst I’ve felt from chemo so hoping that continues, still have a few more day of the shittiest probably.  The worst kicked in the second day after like, it did last time, yesterday and today are the two Read the rest of this entry »

The reason for the stem cell infusion is because they give you a mega dose of chemo (and I think radiation too) that kinda zeros your system out and has to have the stem cell infusion to help you up after.  Someone talked to me to do some kind of mental exam to make sure I was ready for how tough it could be, like if I was Read the rest of this entry »

parts were slightly worse than yesterday, parts were slightly better, so the same overall.  Hoping tomorrow doesn’t totally blow, but just have to wait and see.

I have a hickup-burp-suck in air thing that happens sometimes, happens at random sometimes but it happens kinda every time I eat past some threshold of starchy food like rice or potatoes.  I think this chemo regimen is Read the rest of this entry »
