Water, water everywhere
I gained 5 pounds overnight, so I got a dose of Lasix today. It did make me pee, but I don't think I peed off 5 pounds. Usually the water retention shows up after Day 2 of chemotherapy. This cycle, it showed up after Day 1. I'm sure I'll get the diuretic again tomorrow and be back down to my normal weight by Monday. ...
I was scheduled for a visit to the dentist Monday for a cleaning, but my oncologist nixed it. At first I was going to load up on antibiotics beforehand, but it was decided the risk of infection was too great. So the cleaning will have to wait until after I finish chemotherapy. Wonder what someone in my situation would do if they had a cavity. ...
Not sure when I'll finish chemo. I have at least one more cycle, then I'll probably have a scan, see where we stand and go from there. I am scheduled to finish radiation treatments March 6. How should I celebrate? Scotch and cigars are not options . ...
Ash Wednesday is March 1. I think I'll give up cancer for Lent ... and beyond.
