in Colorectal Cancer #1
The head of my Oncology Center called a few hours ago and said he is NOT comfortable with my counts..... Especially my calcium????? He said calcium was over 5 and that was high and concerned him..... So much so that he was asking me to go to ER on the 4th to recheck it. He asked if i was peeing a lot.... No... Not much at all.... It comes out my butt. He asked if i was having stomach Pain.... Noooo.. Blood pressure 150/100.... But roids doing that. Man, i am sooooo weak..... Havent slept more than 3 hrs in 4 days. I just cant believe this folfox kicking the crap outta me. It better not interfere with my cyberknife or im gonna be REAL mad! Ok..... Venting done. :-)
Update later

    Wow Jennie, I sure hope
    Wow Jennie, I sure hope those counts return to normal for you soon, I hate to think of how tired and beat you must be feeling. I wish you sleep and energy, can the docs give you something to help you sleep?
    GOD's blessings to you!

    Soooo, are you heading to
    Soooo, are you heading to the ER to do the retest?? Look after yourself!!! My oncologist always adds the calcium blood test as an extra along with my CEA and I've never really understood why.

    Will be thinking of you Jennie. Glad your oncology team is on top of this even though it's the 4th.
    Hope this all gets resolved soon!!!!!!

    Jennie:
    I know you won't like it but (my opinion only) perhaps you should be admitted rather than going back and forth to the ER. Once your blood crashes, everything else comes tumbling down and to get everyhthing stable again, admission is sometimes necessary that way you get continuous fluids and they monitor you much more than you could do at home. Its not fun, I know, but perhaps that is the best place right now so you can stay on track for the Cyberknife.

    Love and Hugs - Tina

    Prayers and hugs
    I am so sorry to read about your problem with blood counts. I am not sure why your Onc hasn't offered that you be admitted, at least temporarily, until counts can be stabilized and diarrhea can be abated, vs telephone tag and running to the ER. Hugs and prayers of healing and comfort

    P.S.: Venting is an important part of our healing and reduces stress/anxiety for many...vent on Jennie.

    Sending you warm thoughts tonight. I hope that they can get your counts back up soon.
    Take care, and try to get some well needed sleep.

    Dear Jennie
    I agree with Tina. No one likes to be in hospital but sometimes it is the best place, at least temporarily.

    Prayers coming your way for swift improvement in all your numbers so that you can stay on track for Cyberknife.

    Hugs,

    Marie who loves kitties

    the sleep is a biggy
    Possibly the steroids, see what onc recommends.
    I am still ob 20mg melatonin each night, I sleep like a baby including the nappies and the pops. Except for the last three nights which have been all clean. So diet and probiotics can change our quality of lie, they for me.


    Hugs,
    Pete

    Ps checkout Wheatgrass post, it may help, it will make your system alkaline and your pipoops green.
    Might help with counts, ask me in a few months.

    Sorry
    So sorry that you are going through this. I've been on that and it can kick your butt big time. Had an ileo at the time so constant dumping was my problem. Wish you can get some relief. Take care of yourself and do what the doctor orders.

    Hugs! Kim
