Started on my 4th bottle of study drug today, so that means a trip to Madison will not be too far away. I think things have evened out in the side effects arena, but who knows what longer term use will be? After some splittling headaches, severe gastric distress, and my entire body heating up it seems the side effects are getting less noticeable.
The doctor seems to think the gastric probs and the heating might be good signs that the meds are working like they are suppose to. I would like to think it is the death thralls of the tumors exiting my body. Wouldn't that be great?
I have had a severe cough starting last Thursday (the 21st), went to walk in clinic on Monday (the 25th) and got cough syrup and a packet of predisone because he thought my chest sounded tight. I lost my voice but the cough did better, my voice is still gravelly. I don't know if the prednisone did any good at all, I would think I would be better on my own by now anyway.
Only other condition seems that the inside of my mouth is starting to be a little tender. You know my grandma always said whatever is going in your stomach is going on in your mouth too. So hopefully it won't get too bad. Just got to watch what I eat.
Speaking of eating and the necessary consequences I have decided that I there are entirely too many bodily functions to discuss this daily on a blog. I will keep those in a journal and try to keep my thoughts and general issues as information for the blog.
