Today is the second day that my throat hurts. Feels like something is in it when I swallow. Not a bad pain so far.
Two weeks done and 5 to go. My next chemo is Sept 8th. Oh man I dread it. My kidney function is already jacked. 1.2 on the creatinine scale. Which is like just the beginning of bad. The next chemo round will probably jack it up to 3 or 4. When it gets to 5 or more then that's really bad. They already told me that this will affect my kidneys but they should come back.
I do have the ringing in my ears too. Mostly noticed when I am trying to sleep and it's quiet. Haven't lost any hair yet, I believe that will start day 14 (Monday) to day 21.
I take my laptop with me so I don't know why I am not posting everyday. I don't even turn it on.
I can only get one TV station where I am staying even with a high powered antenna so I subscribed to Netflix. I am hooked on Prison Break, and Grace and Frankie with Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda.
Foods starting to taste bad. It's not all the way there yet but it's getting there. Ensure still tastes okay. That's what I will live on starting this week and for a few months probably. I have to do neck muscle exercises so I don't lose my ability to swallow, especially if I get a PEG (stomach tube feeder). I don't mind having to get one but when it's time they just yank it out with no numbing or anything. THAT I DREAD!!!! Bah!!!
Today I am starting this:
Michael Symon's Italian Beef
I just hope I can eat it! LOL!!!
