first off, sorry for the lack of updates. saw my doc last week, and he literally told me to "party on." (yikes. doctors should never try to be cool. ever.) had chemo on monday. i am now on a two weeks on, two weeks off schedule. this should be an improvement. at chemo i met with a doctor before treatment as always, and he noticed a slightly swollen ( Read more... )

I am attempting to give up caffeine cold turkey on recommendation from one of my doctors. I didn't think that it would be this difficult, as I normally have maybe half a cup of coffee every other day and soda maybe three times a week. But I didn't take into account how often I take excedrin for these damn nausea drug side effect headaches/migraines ( Read more... )

must stop napping after work. just makes the insomnia worse. but work was loooong today.

was Scrubs not hilarious tonight? i love that show! i got to watch it at katy's and eat king cake in honor of mardi gras. i meant to go to the mag bar tonight, but that clearly didn't happen. nice evening though despite my laziness ( Read more... )

it's always nice to actually be able to sleep on a sunday night. yay for chemoless mondays. of course, my body was very confused by this, so i was as tired all day as i might have been had i not had any sleep, but thus is life. so i came home and took a two hour nap. now i won't be able to sleep tonight. i am an idiot ( Read more... )

unfortunately, i am still having pain. i think it's a little less constant but I'm not positive about that. if it's not doing better by monday, i think i'll call the firm of the doctor who placed the damn port ( Read more... )
