Wednesday was a regular every three weeks appointment with my oncologist. My blood marker test was 86, last one was 85, so that is good.
I showed the Dr. my feet and she was sympathetic to the open sores where my big toe nails used to be. She asked if I had any fever, worried about infection. She also suggested that I should reduce the 3000 mgs of Xeloda that I take each day to 2500 mgs.
She even suggested I might reduce it by 500 mgs more if they didn’t start to get better. Now I understand why this medication comes in 500 mg pill.
I went totally wild and bought myself a camera that I can turn off and on. Now I just have to figure it out from minimal instructions by someone whose second language is English.
It’s a blue Sanyo, very small. My old memory card fits it.
I got a lot done this week in spite of being pretty lazy Monday and Tuesday. Maybe I have to work up to a few busy days.
Forty eight years ago today I became a mother. When they hand you a baby they hand you guilt. Did the drugs they gave me cause her a problem? Did I do everyone wrong? But then I look at her determination, her pride, and her industriousness I have to decide somebody did something right. Most likely a higher power.
later….
