Who's who and what's what...

...I did see the diabetes specialist and she said the ballooning is most likely because of the chemo (again). The oncology dept. tells me a different story... ballooning usually develops because of diabetes... Who is right? This is what I often get when asking direct questions to the oncologist, doctors as well as the diabetes group... NOBODY WILL TAKE THE RAP.

It was quite convenient to take an extra week off from the chemo. I was tired, everything tasted like metal... this tells me that the chemo residue will take at least 2 weeks to get out of my system. They say up to a few months... I would tend to believe that.

So it's fixed, I'm resuming chemo 3on/1off as expected with the Nupogen drug.

Other than that, I'm a little anxious to trash all the pills they have me take for different purpose. This will be interesting to see just how sicker you are without rather than having some pill cocktail that infringed on each other.

We'll see about that...
