Yeah I avoided the drug plan - it's been a balance off. Self employed would have cost a couple hundred a year for dental and drug.
We have a cap on drug costs anyways /
The steroids cost nothing - just the anti-nausea.

Maybe ChemoDad can give us an update on how this latest Google product is going over in Australia?

I don't feel _bad_ today, but very tired and lethargic. Like the world is moving at double speed.

Oh well, a relaxing weekend awaits! Smile

During the 5 day chemo??

Hmm - I must be fortunate - I do crash in the afternoon - had a good sleep this aft but except for the first day and evening I'm pretty much fully functional.....cept for the munchies which are sort of fun.

The crashes are vicious tho.... Shocked

I was feeling really tired and worn down this morning, with dull aches in arms and legs, from the time I woke up until making it to work. Unfortunately, I found the cure: a morning cup of coffee.

I don't even drink all that much normally, certainly not as much as in my youth. Perhaps a cup of coffee and some tea. But I don't recall having anything caffinated yesterday, and I guess my body started to react today.

I guess that caffeine withdrawal becomes stronger during chemo as well. Confused

I'd say maybe - first week caffeine was the only thing that knocked the headache down ...not much lately but then I'm on a few latte a day again do

My followup has been determined. On April 24th I'll have a CT scan, followed by a Gallium scan on the 27th, and a colonoscopy on the 28th. Then I meet with the doc to find out what it all means on May 12th.

So still over a month before I can get the all clear sign.

Also a bit more anemic and my CRP is over 3 for some reason, but my LDH is back down to 238 and WBC is still over 35.

Looking forward to finishing this!

With less than 1% of the population as Christians, I think the answer is obvious.

Time to get dressed and head to work!
