4th Cycle
8 years ago
For those curious, my 4th cycle of chemo was finished over a week ago. Went about as well as all of the others.. which means I probably should have been in the hospital when my counts got so low, but it's like they did everything to make that not happen. Not quite sure how I feel about that. On one hand, it was nice to be home and comfortable.. but on the other, home is no hospital.
Regardless, that phase is over now and I'm feeling well for the most part. Still have some minor sores on my tongue, which is annoying and I wish they'd go away already. When I got them during the previous cycles, they went away in a few days after my white count returned to an acceptable level.. this time, though, for whatever reason they're hanging around a bit longer.
But whatever. Gearing up for a CAT scan later in the coming week to see how all this chemo stuff did with the cancer. From there, it's a talk with the doctor and HOPEFULLY getting back to work.
Sorry for the late update on things.. but meh. I'm usually private, so this kinda thing is still new to me.

FA+

Other than that, I'm not really sensitive per se. My taste is altered though, so things don't taste right to me.. and it SUCKS. As a cheese lover, having almost no taste of cheese is insanely annoying. I also find myself unable to taste salt, which I guess isn't so bad.. but it's still noticeable when everything tastes unseasoned and bland. Even plain water tastes 'off'..
Thank you. :)
But yea. :|
