January 10
January 10, 2010 at 10:25 AM | Posted in Treatment Journal | Leave a commentI’m finally back home, got a pretty good night’s sleep, and am feeling better than I have in quite a few days, presumably thanks to the blood transfusion yesterday. I had two units of blood pumped in yesteray as ordered on Friday, and it seems to be working, at least in terms of me having a little bit of energy.
Ears are sill ringing constantly, no food taste, and some digestion issues. However, those have been persistent since the end of the first round. The last round of chemo is scheduled for a week from tomorrow. Assuming no further complications and adequate blood counts, that will be the beginning of the end! At least, as far as chemo goes. After that, I won’t know a thing for at least 6 weeks, when a PET scan can be taken to see if the chemo shrunk any tumors, and to what extent.

January 10, 2010 at 10:18 AM | Posted in Treatment Journal | Leave a commentI got thrown quite a curve today on my regular blood test visit. My counts, including cells, were “critically low”, and a blood transfusion was ordered for tormorrow morning. I have been feeling completely wiped out all week, and now I guess I know why! By blood counts suck!
My hearing test showed minimal further loss, this time in the lower frequencies instead of higher ones. I can still hear though, and will likely go ahead and finish the 4th and final round of chemo as scheduled the week of Jan. 18.
