Specifically for the Chemotherapy, there was
no major hiccup this time round on 22nd August (Thursday) and 23rd
August (Friday).
The week before, I had developed water
retention and my feet and calves were swollen for about 2 days before subsiding.
On Thursday, there was still some slight swelling but not sufficient enough to
be of major concern. My platelet count was 188 but because of my low
haemoglobin and red cell count and the swelling, the preparation of my drugs was
held off unit Friday as the nurses would like to see what my actual conditions
are on Friday.
Come Friday, the swelling is still slight but
not sufficient to cause major concern and so the therapy proceeded. All went
well and I was home by about 1:00pm in the afternoon. Seem like all good things
comes to an end at one time or another as things took a tumble on Saturday when
my abdominal area went into a tailspin and I was having bloated-ness, pain on
the left side (Stomach region) and on the centre (tumor region), did not pass motion
for 1 day although there wasn’t that constipated feeling. The feet and calves
swelled with the swelling subsiding only on Monday evening. I slept for practically
the entire day on Saturday literally despite the noise from Nathan.
Slightly better today as you can see since I
am able to blog but I am “tahaning” the tiredness and minor pain despite the
morphine. Have an appointment with the Palliative Care Specialist next week and
let’s see what she says then.
In
God We Trust and in Christ alone my hope is found.
Hebrews
11:1
