My hair is falling out. I gave myself another injection today, two left. I took a nausea pill today. My white count was 1, then up to 3 by the time I left the hospital. I should be over 5. I 'll know after labs next week.

Home from the hospital. Had two rounds of antibiotics for an unknown infection in my middle finger. Had three doses of white blood cell medication. Then I had pain medication for an intense bone pain. I am also constipated. I now have ten days of antibiotics and five more doses of white cell injections to do at home. I have an RX for pain meds too.

I am being readmitted. An infection is occurring in my middle finger and my platelettes are lower than they should be this soon after chemo. I am so tired. Cant wait for a nap. I don't really rest at home.

Off to the Dr. Still bleeding. Called the triage nurse this a.m. Going to get some lab work most likely. My Dr. visit today is for an ENT for my salivary gland issue. Wish me luck!

My skin is burning in pinpoint places and my scalp is feeling weird. The scalp thing was supposed to take three weeks.

Week one after chemo therapy did not go as expected. It went better as far as energy levels but I did get side effects. After reading thee information provided by the hospital and having that same information reiterated by the Dr. and the P.A. 's, I thought my ass would just fall out of my body. The chemo process affects all your organs. The information provided addresses each system, for example: The GI tract may or may not swell, get a fungal infection, become constipated or the opposite and may bleed. The skin for example: your nails could blacken and loosen, you could bleed. Your reproductive organs may stop working, menopause could occur and you could bleed. Drink lots of fluids so your liver and kidneys don't back up and cause other problems, or bleed. On top of the chemo, the antibiotics I was given may also cause thrush, throat swelling, hives and other allergic reactions. Discontinue and consult Dr. So on day one, on one hour of sleep, I felt great. I ate and loaded up on anti -nausea medication as instructed. Turns out Aunt Flo who has been off schedule for six month 's, showed up on time. July 10 I am a stuck pig. Is it chemo or period? Do I wait a week or panick? I took the antibiotics and my throat swelling and hives or thrush may be an allergic reaction. I don't know why I am only sleeping three solid hours a night, or why it is broken up but maybe it's the heat? It has been so hot and humid this week. I say all that to say this - I do not have the expected fatigue, or constipation, or diarrhea, but I do have thrush, bleeding, throat swelling and a rash on my boobs. Today should be the end of my period, after this, bleeding would be unusual. So, the alkaline water, brushing with baking soda, aloe vera juice, juices, water, coffee and eating conservatively, coupled with great hygiene and mask wearing, seem to help with my energy levels, hydration and overall feeling ok. I am avoiding group germs and pacing myself with house work. My family and friends are amazing.I am fortunate. More later.

I had the chemo today. My blood work was fine and my scars looked good but the doc gave me antibiotcs for the same infection. I had two types of chemo, a flush and an anti nausea drip all in two and a half hours. I had lunch while on the chemo and I still feel fine. I was so hyper about it that I slept for about an hour last night and as tired as I am, I cannot relax. I am not going to mop or make dinner or reline the kitchen trash can. Not gonna do anything once the turkey wings are roasted. Guess I was irritable.

I had no idea I am supposed to update daily. I definitely have to get my desktop fixed. Typing on this thing is s l o w. I start chemist tomorrow. I started a three day steroids dose today. I was told by a nine year cancer survivor to take the following herds:((spelling phonetically) foe tea, calcariafion, aloe vera juice, alkaline water, Japanese. red pine needle, optimal oil something, fulvic minerals, eslac rearward a Linda Page book and whatever other things I find. I will stink. Lol. So, tomorrow, my cousin is bringing the water and aloe juice. I'm going to make a soup and chx.broth for back up.. Until tomorrow.
