THE PATH TO RC

Well,
5 days after 2nd chemo, i was pretty much bed ridden. They still gave me half the steroid dose and pepcid but i still felt dizzy and nauseous. Not as bad as last time but still didnt want to move around much. Right now im not to bad, slight headache,fatigue, and tummy tolerates small amounts of food during the day. Taking boost drinks . My next treatment is this Thursday! Hopefully the Docs and I can find a happy medium.

My hat it off to all of you.

Lotech,

What a way to start chemo! Good to hear you are on the mend. It seems that there are many unforeseen twists and turns remaining on the path to beating this disease. Hang tough, we are rooting for ya.

Well im in the hospital, i had a reaction to the steroids they gave me. Shut dowm my digestive system, very painful bloating! 2 days later feeling better. It was my first treatment! Hopefiully next wont be as dramatic! Still pushing the positive!

NeoAdjuvant Chemo as Im told is to get any cancer that may be floating out there, after that the RC removes the source I believe, As far as you type of diversion, they tell me it depends on when the go in to see what is best suited for you, I told I'm a good candidate for neo but still depends on what happens during surgery, could end up with a indiana pouche or external appliance, bottom line for me is being able to urinate with out pain and fear of cancer so what ever it takes I'm in! its not easy even as I write this I feel out of it but it helps to get it out there, hang in there cause I will! Cynthia has had an RC
