18 February 2009

I got out of hospital on Monday this week. Today, (18th February) is the first in the last 6 days I have felt like I have been able to do some things around the place and not be in bed so much. I received three days of chemotherapy last week, Thu/Fri/Sat and it was tough.

A hard, hard mixture of hard drugs (Fludarabine), which really wiped me out and I certainly felt it. Now, I will get sores in the mouth and throat, hair will fall out in about 2 weeks. But, Have Michelle G, coming over to shave it off this weekend to avoid dropping big clumps all over the house.

My Heamotologist showed me a diagram of the S1. --a small piece of sciatic nerve tucked deep that is inflamed with Lymphoma, so small and hidden and what we are targeting. The cycle will go 3 days of chemo every 28 days for about 4-8 cycles, depending on what MRI & scans reveal.

I have migraines from the chemo, but have meds for this - morphine/endone. Back to bed for me,

I read all your messages,

thank you and blessings to you all.
