Sorry again I wasn't able to update this blog. I need to clear up my mind and focus on getting well so I'd be able to cope with the side effects of chemo. Numbness, tingling sensations, and joint pains are just few side effects of chemo but those side effects have an unexplainable but bearable feeling to me. I had no nausea, appetite loss and vomiting experience but if there's one side effect that I really hate is the difficulty in sleeping. I really have a hard time sleeping after chemo that I decided not to open my laptop for a while, focus on getting a good night sleep and just live a healthy, routinely lifestyle.

| 5th Chemo Session |
During my 4th and 5th chemo session, I encountered some health problems
before undergoing chemo theraphy like high blood pressure and blood count
problems. My blood pressure went up to 170/120 during my 4th chemo that
I need to take amlodipine, catapres and another meds administered
through IV to lower my blood pressure. Another problem that I
encountered during my 5th chemo was my hemoglobin and white blood count
went down that I need to go through blood transfusion first. But other
than those problems everything went well. I still have to undergo one last chemo and hopefully it'll be the
last but that will still depend on the laboratory result & CA 125.
Regardless of the side effects and problems I encountered I am so thankful to God for giving me the strength to survive this battle and again grateful to all people who gave financial support and sent their prayers for my healing.
Till then.
Treasure your life and your love ones.
Have a great day!
Rooting for you, Grace! I can't wait to read your final chemo session story. May you remain strong and optimistic in this journey and may God continue to heal you! Cyberhuuuuuuugs!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Ms. Edel. I just finished my 6th chemo session and hopefully it'll be the last and I'm praying for a good lab results on my next check up.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Ms. Edel for helping esp during the time when I needed it most. God Bless.
I was reading your blog about your victorious struggle against cancer. My wife is also battling the same. Hope you can up your natural defense which is your immunity. Take as much turmeric, guyabano and green tea everyday. Take fresh coconut juice and virgin coconut oil for it also acts as anti-cancer. If you can go natural juicing for veggies and fruits, this will help a lot. Chemo will only kill the mother cells but the cancer stem cells will still active after the chemo. Keep your defense up always even after chemo and you are on your way to the pinkest of health. God bless you for He loves you very much.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the advice, I'll take note of it. I am taking turmeric, green tea, fruits & veggies everyday and blending carrots, cucumber, apple and pineapple almost everyday.
DeleteI pray that your wife will cope this big C battle, and also pray that God will give you both the strength to survive it. God Bless :)
