DAY 116 Saturday..... Well thank gosh we are down from 115-120 BPM round the clock to about 95-105 now :) feels like a vacation..... thank gosh Abraxane actually can cause bradycardia ... makes the first two days of treatment something to look FORWARD to...... JEEEE EEE PERS ....( next treatment Monday ) ...... Ok so I assume the pounding etc etc is the low H&H and the low potassium .... etc etc ... But no blood for me ... NOPE .... those buggers ......not low enough for blood this week but not high enough to not have a pounding heart and be short of breath all week,... but at least I am able to eat and drink ... this is a BIG HUGE PLUS .. so its baby food stage 3 bananas why??? 500 mg potassium and 50% daily of magnesium ... and Im looking to slow the heart train down sooooo spoon in hand Im eating this wayyy too sweet stuff and then a banana later and a pedialyte chaser eeewww... Now some more fun facts::: this week I can feel the beginnings of the pain starting... some aching myalgia/arthralgia and a few ( REALLY FUN ) stabbing or shooting pains from time to time ... so far I say Id trade the lack of nausea nad ability to eat for an every so often feeling like someone is stabbing me but not sure if id trade them for the way my knee felt the other night .... its debatable but not horrible yet so steady as she goes and onward we sail..... I should have a really good idea of how much trouble Ill be in by the end of this month or halfway thru the next....... but by then Ill be able to see the chemo finish line so I hope I can just grin and bear it ..... THEN ::::AFTER THAT I NEED STUDENTS WHO WANT TO EARN SOME BUCKS ...... after chemo Ill be having some pretty GNARLY surgery ..... gonna need a few folks who know their way around Jackson Pratt drains and wound care whod like the practice with a paycheck attached ;) ..... I WILL be a stickler for infection control :) and for I/O.....but thats good :) lolol..... I have a video to show ya ... its NOT so bad ... its a good video for the squeemish as its pretty free of any real juicy details LOLOL https://youtube/watch?v=7RA97o3FNrA also shes pretty upfront about the pain so its interesting ......
