Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Cancer / April 2004Day 13 since CHEMO treatment 1
Well here it is Day 13 since my first treatment, and right on time my hair is falling out just like they said. Had my first blood test done Friday the 23rd and was told it is at normal rates, no big drop in platlets or white cells, So I am waiting for the second treatment 5th of May. Thanks for listening Frank (aka) "stew" > Well here it is Day 13 since my first treatment, and right on time my > hair is falling out just like they said.

When mine started falling out, I went to Supercuts and had them cut everything off and a good shampoo got the loose ones. It won't take long for 95% of your hair to fall out. I kept most of the other 5% as fuzz during chemo. > Well here it is Day 13 since my first treatment, and right on time my > hair is falling out just like they said.

He has had two blood transfusions and three of platlets, but now, after reaching day 15, he began to eat more and to look healthier. Drs. said that the first dosis is smaller than the other, and transfusions are quite usual. We?ll see. We will pray for you.

Thank You Kindly I I will pray for you and your son. I had my first on the 14th have not lost my appetite but my taste buds are out of wack and my stomach is in fits most of the time when I do not eat bland foods.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Frank (aka) "stew" I went through all this last year (June-Oct) and made it out the other side. It's not mentioned here very often, but smoking pot helps with the stomach and boosts the morale. I think it's main function is an attitude adjuster. Try smoothies. You can blend anything you want in them. Make them high calorie. Weight loss is a big Bozo No-No. I gained 30 lb during my ordeal, and everybody was jumping with joy. Now I have to take it off gradually so they won't scold me too harshly<g> Keep us posted on your progress. Bob >> Thank You Kindly >> I I will pray for you and your son. [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > >Bob Ah, yes, Bob. I remember the encouragement to not lose any weight (1st doctor in my life who encouraged weight gain!) And my oncol was a teeny little thing. I also came out of the whole thing having a net gain of about 15 pounds. Which I'm still trying to lose!
