fuddled and chemo brain – slight nausea is threatening at the moment so apologies for apost that will be written with my eyes mostly closed.
went in – meant to start straight away, but mum wanted to see doctor first – i wasnt fussed – i think that made everythning run late, but oh well. he came, talked about fertility preservation more and said that generally he has a 2-3 week wait that he is happy with from date of diagnosis, so the IVF egg collection was out of the picture now. I did remind him that its been over 6weeks since the scan.
There is still chance for drug that restricts ovary functions – cant remember name – that is an injection once every 3 months…. still experimental…. Dr Bowtie gives me a 50/50 chance anyway, which is pretty good, and since im young it should be ok.
i had the option of waiting chemo one more week and seeing fertility specialist, but i decided to just go ahead with it – id psyched myself up for it, so it should happen now
had lots of fluid, then the steroid and the anti nausea – geez that was not nice – tasted terrible
so the nurse got me a special tablet – basically a relaxant so i went drowsy and relaxed.. i could deal with that… im getting it each time now im told.
i was there was 9am until about 3pm
got home
slept
ate
hopped on computer
my brain is fried, and the more i try to work it, pay attention to things that are moving and require my attention, such as my fingers, people etc, I feel more nauseous.
Im on a BIG bag of drugs, and that doesnt include my injections yet! just lots of drugs to ensure the chemo doesnt irritate my bladder, and my gut, and anti fungals and antibacterials etc etc etc lots and lots of drugs
i need some sleep
yes
this is the brain working of a chemo patient.
