Wow! What a rebound!Well I got to ring the bell on the last scheduled chemo. Turns out my white count had doubled since Friday.
Dw said I was walking stiff while looking at the ground with no side to side mobility in the neck.
Ratface, this is from the rad burns, not the chemo affecting your nervous system, correct? :hopeful: [why don't we have a hopeful smiley?]
I like that nurse's styleChemo nurse took one look at the neck and didn't say a word. Returned with a script from Doc for pain meds.
DW filled it while I was getting infused. Miracles never cease, one dose and I can turn my head without pain. Guess I'll try and manage the constipation.
Can you say, "ElderTang"? [orange-flavored Metamucil]. It can add bulk that your intestines need. Check with your doctor first, of course.
Ratface, do you have a date yet for your next PET scan to see how much damage has been done to the cancer?
I'm sorry you have to fight with the insurance companies, but so glad you have the energy to do it. Don't hesitate to lay guilt trips, be a curmudgeon, or even kiss butt, if it will get you what you need. You are doing a helluva job at SURVIVAL!!
