How are you Ioanna?

How's it going Ioanna?

Hi! I've been doing quite

Hi! I've been doing quite well. Today is the last day of our holidays. Luckily I managed to rest a lot and I had a great time. I am still taking a lot of pills but I don't mind. I now can walk around more and I even got to swim a couple of times after sunset!

My next chemotherapy is on Wednesday and I am a little anxious about it. Last time my stomach hurt. Hope this time is better!

 

How have you been doing? Has your treatment been planned??

I began a new thread under cervical adenocarcinoma

Great to hear from you ioanna and great to hear your feeling better! It's amazing what time away can do for the soul and body!  I started a new thread about cervical cancers which updates my status (which is pretty much in a holding pattern) and I'm hoping to hear from other cervical cancer survivors. Thanks for letting us know how your doing! Will be thinking about you on Wednesday.

I hope everyone is doing

I hope everyone is doing well. I haven't been around much lately. Signed in but rarely spoke. Thing is I haven't been doing very well. I had my fifth round of chemo on August 20th. I got an allergic reaction and a lot of vomiting the next days. My doctor did not react soon enough. So on Aug 29 I got a seizure and while already in hospital for dehydration. I stayed in intensive care for two days. I had acute kidney failure and severe stomach problems.

I had my 6th round last week. It was not as bad as the previous one, although I still was hospitalized to make sure I don't gat dehydrated again.

on Sunday I was rushed to the ER with extreme bowel colic. After given the necessary treatment I was discharged on Monday.

 

I am much better now. I still cannot drink tap water. I can drink Perrier and decaf coffee. I have to take two pills before and one after every meal just to keep food down but I do

 

How have you all been doing?

Thank you for the support

Thank you for the support

 

It was the dehydration that caused kidney failure. For a week I couldn't keep anything in my stomach Is much better now, although I still throw up sometimes.

I am having an MRI this week. Hopefully I won't need another chemo but this depends on the result. I also went to another doctor for a second opinion. Thing is I don't really trust the doctor I've had as I think I might have avoided kidney failure if they had taken me seriously.

Good for you ioanna,
you must

Good for you ioanna,

you must be your own advocate.  I am glad you sought a second opinion which I think is always a good idea when diagnosed with recurrence.  I hope you MRI shows great results and your nodes have disappeared.  M sorry you got so severely dehydrated.  Your oncologist most certainly should have taken you seriously.  A lot of people deal with that while undergoing chemo.  it is not unusual.

rest and reCouperate.  I'm glad you are feeling better and I hope it stays that way.  Hugs.
