Breathing problems. Heading to the emergency room
Due to chemotherapy, my blood platelets are way down which means I have to have oxygen to breathe, I’m immunocompromised and almost totally helpless until my blood platelets come back up. This really sucks.

I had a really nice long conversation with my oncologist. After a review of all my medications for pain relief, it was not effective. So a new prescription regimen was devised and I’ve been on the new medication for 6 hours and I feel calm and mostly pain free. I’m hoping

I had chemotherapy October 16th. It took until now before my hair started falling out in major clumps. I should be bald in less than a week

Pain is hovering at 6 out of 10. It’s so hard to just exist right now

Pain level started at 7. Dropping to 3 by end of day. Please, I’d like days of 2 or less pain

So much pain. I have no idea how others tolerate it. Fuck cancer.

Home sweet home. I’m on home oxygen. And once again my back pain has returned with a vengeance. At the hospital, I was on so great painkillers that made me almost forget how much pain I’m in. Thursday, at 8:45am, I go in for chemo. Let’s hope this is the start of my recovery.

I was supposed to go home from the hospital today after getting my chemo port Friday. Sadly, when I sleep my blood oxygen drops too low so I’m looking getting sent home with oxygen tomorrow

Sigh. I got the results from the cat scan yesterday. My right lung has a membrane that's normally the thickness of plastic wrap. It's current 1cm to 2cm thick. That's the tumor. I’ll be setting up a gofundme to help with my medical bills

They still can’t find the source of my cancer. I’ll be undergoing numerous tests in the coming days. It was confirmed it has metastasized, so that’s depressing.

I’m finally in my home office. While I’m still making Becky Juice and coughing up a lung, being able to sit at my desk allows me to reclaim my “normal” #cancer

My new normal, always fatigued, sweating, in pain if I move, and no appetite. This sucks.
