So I haven't really been sick at all today just extremely tired. After work I just came home and went to bed. That was pretty refreshing. Other than that I got a phone call from Hope House in Minneapolis and I am cleared to stay there when I eventually make my way up there for treatments. I also made sure Dr.Maddaus received my medical notes and scans. Apparently, he got them yesterday but hasn't been able to look at them yet. I have no clue which specialist he is going to be talking to, but I made my appointment with Dr. Clohisy who is one of the better specialists there. My folks happened me out with a few dollars to get my first shipment on mangosteen juice. I hoping this stuff helps out. All of the research done by myself and my folks leads us to believe this should help out quite a bit. If any of you are curious about the after effects and things to help with chemo go to www.chemocare.com My father found the website and I have read over it a little and think that it is a good place to poke around in and read a little if you are interested.
Q: What are the effects of chemo on you?
A: The effects are different for everyone. There are so many different types of chemo for all of the types of cancer. The first time I had chemotherapy it was for a different type of cancer. I had 5 straight days of 3 different chemo treatments the first time and this time I only have 1 chemo treatment. The treatment schedule is 1 week on and 2 weeks off. The effects of chemo on my body are pretty schedule they haven't changed much at all. At first I am just tired. A couple of days later I start feeling a little sick, nauseated, and extremely tired. The 4th, 5th, 6th, and possibly the 7th day I get really sick, nauseated, tired, loss of hunger, extremely weak, short attention span, and dizziness. Those days are the days you really should try not to leave the bed. How I was even able to go to work for a while each day this week has been beyond me. I will also say that it was also stupid as hell too. That is how chemotherapy effects myself.
