My blood is good. Normal human blood. Nothing weird.
Tomorrow I start the new chemo regimen, which is twice the drugs of the last one and I get to wear a pump for 48 hours. Exciting! Guaranteed diarrhea! A multiple day schedule of a cocktail of anti-nausea meds and steroids!
BTW, if you want a sad fact, there are so many cancer patients in SE WI that none of the infusion centers will schedule out further than your next cycle right now. It’s kinda fucked. Cancer is bullshit.
The only other news to report is I have started experiencing neuropathy in my toes. It’s intermittent, but when it happens it feels like someone is jabbing a red-hot knife under my toenails or maybe taking an angle grinder and running it between my toes. If you’re around me and I yelp for no discernible reason, that’s why. Luckily it’s not constant right now so I mostly just go about my business with a certain level of trepidation that I am going to be walking on sunshine any second.
WhoooooOOOOAAAaaa. It don’t feel good.
Reason number 56239672 to be a pleasant and funny patient. I have my next two chemo cycles scheduled now, at the main hospital and not out in the boonies.
