Chemotherapy day 64 - challenging night and day

6 capecitabine, 3 anti nausea, a antihistamine and a B6. The tingling of the peripheral neuropathy present most of the day.

Spoke with Peter, Ann, Jack C, Graham M and Terry P. 

BSC - 3/4

Continued to learn about MS Access, seems likely to be a useful program to extract value out of the NM spreadsheets. Need to drive IAA value and how it is seen by NM. The resources gained from the big investment needs to be collected, understood and used. 

JC mixed branding for retailers quoted
417 retailers in 2021 not enough
IAA needs 500 retailers involved
Match RN covered stores regionality with the ACS Local Shop Report numbers.

Keeping the grey cells busy!

Blood Test Results

 The pre-treatment blood test is important to ensure that patients are capable of with standing the toxic effects of the chemotherapy drugs. My neutrophil and Alt levels have cause deferment over the past few months. This weeks blood test results are ok so Monday's infusion will go ahead. That's Monday morning at 9:30 am definitely early! 

Tinnitus, starting the journey

A few months ago I thought I could hear a noise from a radiator when trying to go to sleep one evening. The noise was so real that I felt that it must have been an actual sound. As the central heating was not on I came to the conclusion that the sound was in my head. That incident was an early sign on my journey to being a tinnitus sufferer. A visit to my GP prompted a response of 'Oh dear' when I told him that I thought that I was suffering from tinnitus. After inspecting my ears he told me that there were three approaches that he could offer me: Do nothing and learn to live with it, see an audiologist to check if I needed a hearing aid or undergo hearing therapy. I chose the audiology appointment as my preferred first step.

Chemotherapy day 33 - more feelings of nausea

6 more chemo tablets, 3 anti nausea and a vitamin B6 today, day 6 of the 3rd cycle. While the peripheral neuropathy has all but disappeared the cycle is certainly giving more feeling of nausea. May need to drink more as the colour of my urine is quite dark. Slept well until around 5.20 am, but felt cold after getting up for the 2nd time during the night. Need to have extra bedding available as just laying my dressing gown over the Tog 7 quilt did not help. There was a 0c temperature outside. Will have a 45 year old duck down sleeping bag available tonight. BSC - 5 Sid phone to ask how I am coping with the treatment and side effects. The feeling of nausea unpleasant much of the day. Drank more, urinated  4 times between 3pm and 4pm. Hopefully this will reduce a chance of a disturbed night.
