Good evening everyone! Thank you for joining me for another fun-filled romp into the world of colorectal cancer! Today finds yours truly getting that first day of chemo under my belt. I was going to get radiation as well, but the first day of getting into a chair and having this oxiliplatin dripping into the port took almost 4 hours! At least they had cable TV and I was able to catch up on my Daily Show and Colbert Report episodes! I love me some comedy central! If you don't know that by now, you will never, never , never know me! Simply Red? Simply cheesy!
Like I said though first one down. I am only getting the IV chemo drug oxiliplatin once per week. Next time is on June 1st. Then they do a blood check the next week to check levels. White blood cell counts, red blood cell counts and platelets, that stuff. I feel normal. I find I don't go to the bathroom as much though. I don't know if I am afraid to get hemorrhoids again or if my intestines are trying to build up some "push" material since I cleaned them out with all of the laxatives I took over the last two weeks! If you don't mind "too much information" you came to the right blog people!
If there's going to be any side effects I dont think they will come right away, if they come at all. Mind over body people...check with me in a month and see if I am singing the same song!
Had a nice surprise from my wife this weekend! She kidnapped me and took me to McAlester for the I-Talian Festival! lysb! We stayed in a nice hotel, had some time to relax. It was very sweet and I think I needed it and didnt even realize it. She did good! If you know her, give her some props this week! My Golden Ticket strikes again! Have I mentioned my theory of 'The Golden Ticket?"
That will be the next blog! Goodnight everyone!
