One week post treatment now and treating round # 2 of Thrush with Nystatin.
That returned last weekend of course so waited till Monday for a new RX.
Throat a little better for now can swallow food and drinks ok. Pain meds keeping me comfortably numb
and getting lots of sleep as well.
Having blood drawn for the NavDx cancer screening test next Tuesday so pretty excited that
finally got approved. Will know something pos. or neg, in a couple weeks
Been able to monitor all the weekly blood work through the cancer center portal .
Some noticeable changes but nothing off the charts so far.
These blood draw documents show a graph associated with the blood tests making it easy to follow the ups and downs.
The kidneys and WBC took the biggest hits along with the Immune system in general.
Small cuts or scrapes became infected easily from chemo treatments and heartburn/hiccups was pretty bad too.
And if you are planning to have cisplatin chemo in the future get some MiraLAX stool softener ahead of time to prevent severe constipation.
Hang in there everyone !
