Well 7 weeks ago my doctors put me on Chemo but not for Cancer but for my illness I have. You take it for 6 months but only once a week so it turns out to be 30 days. See there is a high risk that I could have cancer in my lypmatic system so this is like treat it because the bio they have to do for that is cut open breast bone and I would rather take the Chemo and be safe then go through that. But the medication can slow RA down and remission sarcoidosis of the lungs and Lupus remission. So, the Chemo has a lot of good to come out of it. Now what bad about it though is my hair was falling out before the Chemo and every day I loose more and more my hair is thin and long before now its really thin. I do not know if I loose it all or just go thin.
The first couple treatments I got bad head aches and felt like morning sickness you feel when pregant but it comes and goes now this past treatment number 7 I did not have as many head aches but I felt sicker to stomach then I had been feeling. So, I have to take a extra stomach pill. I go this Friday for my Second blood test since starting Chemo. I mean I was having it done any how about every 2 months well now its monthly again. So far the Kidney and Liver are handling it good. If it shows any harm to either it stopped asap. Just like Plaquenil which is a disease controler can cause harm to eyes so you go every 4 months for eye exam so far I have had mine done 3 times and all been good that a good thing and bad because good news is they do not have to stop it and put you on something with more side affects then what you are have from your illness. Because it can cause growth in eye or pressure or vision issue. So far other then just needed glass to read eyes are normal. Thank god.
Well, any how I am not letting any of this get the best of me I mean sometimes I feel sad because I hate not being normal, which means not feeling like I am dying or sick all the time but happy and feeling good. But, to not take all this posion would be worse then taken it. After my 6 months of Chemo which is really 30 days because of it once a week. I hope to be in remission and able to stop several medication. I hate putting posion in my body I really do.
The reason I write about my illness is it helps you feel better talking about it. And also I hope that maybe I write something that some one else did not know and maybe there more then just me going through it and something I write may help someone else.
it is amazing when sick and you reasearch on own and what Doctors tell you to how much you can learn about your illness and also ways to help you feel better and maybe even help you go into remission faster.
There are no cures just remission.
Well, hope I did not bore anyone to death and glad you stopped by and read my blog. Thanks for being my online friends . Keeping it real.
I was asked why I do not have my name showing so hear it is seeing everyone my online friend Rose is my real name.
Hugs all.
