Chemotherapy Cycle #05 Comment

This week is a little different.  Normally my chemotherapy is on a Wednesday but because this Friday is a holiday and I need to go back to the hospital to have my pump removed, this week's therapy is today (Thursday) and I go back on Saturday to have the pump removed.

The session started at around 9:30 am and finished at around 2pm. The clinic is a very busy today because tomorrow is a holiday.

Things proceed as usual and nothing special to report and I generally feel alright after the therapy but the “heavy” nausea kicked-in at about 4pm and I am very sleepy but could not really go to sleep and when I do for the ½ minutes to a couple of minutes, it was fleeting.

Had early lunch at TTSH during the therapy session as I knew I will be home late. Still managed to eat at about 3+pm and holding the food down well although the stomach and intestine is feeling somewhat queasy.

That is all for now. The nurses at the clinic are concerned about my platelet count and I ask for prayer that the platelet level to be increased or at least do not decrease anymore. The platelet count is crucial for my continual chemotherapy.  As of now, the condition is stable.

In God I Trust.
