chemo

hi - glad to hear that things are going ok - you say you have just started your chemo  - which one are you taking? i have just had my second dose and have two more to take - i have mine every three weeks - how about you? - how are you dealing with side effects - do you have any - mine are that i am just so tired and i sleep loads and i also seem to be sweating such a lot - no temperature though - i keep checking that because i had my chemo stopped because i had a temp and had to go into hospital while they sorted me out - i was taking pemetrexed/cisplatin - they stopped the cisplatin because it was causing me to have ringing in my ears and they put me on carboplatin instead - i still have had a little bit of ringing in the ears so not sure what they will do when i go back - not sure how i feel about them changing the drug - but i suppose they know best - they said that there is a possibility of going deaf with that particular drug - but as i said i would rather be death than have cancer - any way i look forward to hearing from you - take care - karen - xoxo

i dont think rocky replies on any of his blogs for some reason..

your right about the cisplatin i thought i had gone mad with the noises i could hear in my ears i thought my tap was still turned on and kept checking it...
