#chemo day. Didn't feel like eating any of the snacks I brought. Was really sleepy for most of it, didn't get a good night's sleep last night. Hone now and trying to decide if I should eat or not. A bit queasy. I'm hungry, nut also tummy is upset. #chemotherapy #cancer
Saw my oncologist yesterday and discussed my CT scan results and blood work. My tumors are stable, my CEA and Alkaline Phosphatase numbers (tumor markers) are at their lowest levels yet. So doing good. #chemo #chemotherapy #stage4cancer #coloncancer
Got my bloodwork back and my cancer markers dropped dramatically. My CEA went from 64.8 to 49.1 (supposed to be bellow 2.4) and my Alkaline Phosphatase dropped from 273 to 208 (supposed to be bellow 144). those are pretty big drops. #cancer #coloncancer #chemo #chemotherapy #stage4cancer
Just ordered a t-shirt that says:
"I don't get what's so hard about cancer...
I'm already on stage four!"
if you really want to have a laugh, look up what a geoduck is
The #chemo fatigue is real. last few days I have had no energy since my infusion on Wednesday. #chemotherapy #cancer #coloncancer
Had chemo today. Tired, as usual after chemo. Lots of pre-chemo meds to minimize the side effects. Anti-nausea and anti-diarrhea meds.
Spent the last few days sleeping off the #chemo fatigue. Been very low energy.
my CEA keeps dropping, and my Alkaline phosphatase is stable, though I would prefer it keep dropping. I'm still alive, but the fatigue is real. #chemo #chemotherapy #cancer #coloncancer
Thank you to everyone who worked hard to preserve this video. It shows ICE murdered Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse. Watch, save, and share. 💔
That and a cure for cancer 😉
having some joint pain in my ankles and knees. apparently a side effect of the #FOLFIRI #chemo #chemotherapy. not too bad, just took some acetaminophen to help. The chemo in general has actually massively reduced the pain from my #cancer since it is in my bones as well
I'm annoyed, I've misplaced my Galaxy Buds earbuds. I have my Raycon buds as a backup for my #chemo tomorrow, but the noise canceling of the Samsung ones is a lot better.
yeah be prepared for phone calls asking for you to donate blood. My dad is O- and was a firefighter, and he would get calls every time they started running low since O- is the universal donor and is always in high need.
A cure for cancer before it kills me 😆
Update, the pain and tummy issues were all due to the stage 4 colon cancer. My colon ruptured a little over a month later.
All I got for Christmas this year was #cancer, I got that back in June. Tired of it already. Can I return it? #Chemo has definitely taken the fun out of Christmas
Ok, I understand why my eyebrows are falling out, but why is it leaving behind the gray hairs? #chemo #cancer #chemotherapy
would you like me to hold them for you?
Update on my #Cancer journey. My CEA number (a protein that indicates how much cancer you have) has dropped from 657 in August to 71 as of Monday. All in all a pretty positive sign the #chemo is killing the cancer.
so pretty
Hai gorgeous
Nothing has gone in or out of my butt since June. My colon is currently out of order.
It's a me, Heather!
Went for bloodwork and to see my Oncologist. He was very pleased with my progress in my #cancer treatment. My CEA number has dropped significantly since I started #chemo (an indicator of how much cancer you have)
Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoying my new #rx9060xt I can finally play #mw5clans my #rx7600 couldn't play it without crashing. probably the difference between 16gb and 8gb of VRAM
Ordered a new video card. RX 9060 xt 16gb to replace my old RX 7600 8gb card. Maybe now I will be able to run Mechwarrior 5 Clans without crashing. #rx9060xt #MW5Clans #Mechwarrior
It really would be nice if I had someone to go to chemotherapy with me. It gets kind of boring by myself.
My CEA levels have dropped from 170.9 ng/mL two weeks ago to 126.5 ng/mL. Before chemo it was 657.4. CEA is a marker of how much cancer you have. #chemo #cancer
Talked to my oncologist about my CT scan results and he was really pleased. My tumors have significantly shrunk, the ones on my bones show no significant changes but that is typical of bones with the sclerotic lesions.
