November 30 One week later - updateA week without drugs! Still feeling very weak, but it is slowly getting better. It will take a long time to get back to "normal".. Main focus now is to eat and put the weight back on!
Went back to work Monday, trying to do a few hours each day. Easy slowly back into things.
Next appointment with the doctor is the 5th, and should know more then how things are going.
-----------------
En uke uten medisiner! Fremdeles veldig svak, troett og sliten, men det blir gradvis bedre. Det kommer til aa ta lang tid aa komme tilbake til "normalen".. Hovedfokus naa er paa aa faa i seg naering, saann at vekten kommer tilbake der den skal vaere!
Startet jobb igjen paa mandag.. Proever aa gjoere noen timer hver dag - sakte inn i tingene igjen..
Neste time hos legen er den 5., og da faar vi vite mer om hvordan det gaar. November 22 Chemotherapy Day 59 - FINISHEDFinally finished the chemotherapy. Got the last dose Bleomycin today. No more!
The blood tests have shown that the markers have gone down to the normal level, so it all looks very good. Next appointment with the doctor is in a few weeks time and after that it will be regular blood tests. But it all looks as if it was a successful treatment.
Feeling great about being finished, although being very sleepy from the antihistamines and having a little fever has prohibited any celebrations.
A big thank you to everybody that has been so supportive during it all. Your comments, messages, and emails have really meant a lot.
Now, time to come visit!
-----------------
Endelig ferdig med cellegiften. Siste dose Bleomycin i dag. Ferdig!
Bloodproevene har vist at kreftmarkoerene er nede paa normale verdier, saa alt ser bra ut. Neste time hos legen er om et par uker og etter det blir det regelmessige blodproever. Men alt peker paa at det har vaert en suksessfull behandling.
Veldig glad og lettet over aa vaere ferdig, men saa troett etter antihistaminene (og har i tillegg en smule feber) at feiringen faar vente..
Tusen takk til alle sammen som har vaert saa positive og har stoettet opp under behandlingen. Alle kommentarer, meldinger og epost har virkelig betydd mye.
Og naa er det paa tide aa komme paa besoek! November 21 Chemotherapy Day 58Again very tired, and also a little feverish.
Looking forward to the last chemo dose tomorrow!
-----------------
Veldig troett i dag ogsaa, og har i tillegg litt feber.
Ser veldig fram til siste dose cellegift i morgen! November 20 Chemotherapy Day 57Feeling better today, but very sleepy and without energy.
-----------------
I litt bedre form i dag, men veldig troett og uten energi. November 19 Chemotherapy Day 55 and 56Last Neupogen injection yesterday!! No more drugs until Tuesday, when the final dose of Bleomycin is administered.
In ok shape, although feeling a little off this afternoon.
-----------------
Siste Neupogeninjeksjonene i gaar! Ingen flere medisiner foer den siste Bleomycininjeksjonen paa tirsdag.
I ok form, men litt uggen i ettermiddag. November 18 Chemotherapy Days 50, 51, 52, and 53Long week of Neupogen injections, only interrupted by the Bleomycin on Tuesday.
In very bad shape on Monday night and Tuesday, but got better on Wednesday.
Starting to feel better now..
-----------------
En lang uke med Neupogeninjeksjoner, kun avbrutt av Bleomycin paa tirsdag.
I veldig daarlig form mandag kveld og tirsdag, men ble bedre paa onsdag.
Blir stadig bedre naa. November 13 Chemotherapy Day 48 and 49Pills: Dexamethasone and Granisetron (steroids and anti-neusea). In addition started with injections of Neupogen to help grow new bone marrow, and thereby increasing the white blood cell count.
Feeling a little better.
-----------------
Piller: Dexamethasone og Granisetron (steroider og anti-spy). Startet i tillegg med injeksjoner av Neupogen som skal hjelpe til aa gro ny beinmarg, som igjen skal foere til flere hvite blodlegemer.
I litt bedre form. November 11 Chemotherapy Day 47Finally finished with the Cisplatin and Etoposide!! Hurrah!
Only left now are steroids and anti-nausea over the weekend, Neupogen injections Sunday to Friday, and two more Bleomycin injections (one next Tuesday and one the week after).
Feeling very poisoned (like a severe hangover), and the heartburn and constipation are still causing problems.
November 10 Chemotherapy Day 46Second to last day of saline, anti-nausea and steroids, Cisplatin, and Etoposide. It is very hard work now, but not long now....
November 09 Chemotherapy Day 45Saline, anti-nausea and steroids, Cisplatin, and Etoposide. The digestion is (or not, as it were) as usual during the treatment, but the Senna tablets are helping.
Very tired and full of drugs. Fed up and wanting it to be over..
November 08 Chemotherapy Day 44For the last time this long list:
Saline
Anti-vomit + steroids
Saline
Cisplatin
Saline
Etoposide
Saline
Antihistamines
Bleomycin
Saline
The lung capacity is down from the Bleomycin, but that was expected. The blood tests show that the cancer markers are reacting the way they're supposed to.
Just 3 more days with Cisplatin and Etoposide!
The drugs are really working now. Very tired from the anti-histamines, but exhausted from the rest..
-----------------
Denne lange listen for siste gang:
Saltvann
Anti-spy + steroider
Saltvann
Cisplatin
Saltvann
Etoposide
Saltvann
Antihistaminer
Bleomycin
Saltvann
Lungekapasiteten har gaatt ned p.g.a. Bleomycinen, men det var forventet. Blodproevene viser at kreftmarkoerene reagerer som de skal.
Bare 3 dager igjen med Cisplatin og Etoposide!
Kjenner virkelig at medisinene begynner aa taere paa. Troett etter anti-histaminene, men utslitt av alt det andre.. November 07 Chemotherapy Day 43Last cycle! Full-on medication week again; After the lung-test (to make sure the Bleomycin doesn't damage the lungs) saline, anti-nausea and steroids, Cisplatin, and Etoposide.
Not feeling too bad, but very tired.
November 06 Chemotherapy Day 42In pretty good shape. Ready for the last cycle to begin. Tomorrow it's off to the hospital to begin the last full week of medication.
