Round 9 - Chemotherapy Cycle 2 Day 2

Saturday May 25^th, 2013

I’m feeling great, eating good, walking my miles and hanging tough.

The Dr. stopped in to say that they are going to increase the drip so it will go faster and they are confident that my body can handle it, so I said bring in on. I also found out that my phosphorus levels were low so I’m getting a medicine called neutra-phos for it. 

I’m going to do some studying today because I have the focus for it which is very important.

I’m winning the constipation battle this time around. I made a few simple adjustments that did the trick.

I’m starting to develop a cough (no phlegm) and a stuffy head with a runny nose. The Dr. will be getting back to me about what I can take for it.

My new Bluetooth came in and it has better microphone sensitivity and I don’t sound like I’m talking in a tube like on my old one.

Team MGH is taking great care of me as well as the other patients in the ward. It’s an honor to be under their care here, it really is.

I’m finding time to study for my exam during my stay, which is also helping me stay focused on my goals and bringing me back on track.

Going to see Dr. Ativan and call it a night.
