It kind of reminds me of Spinal Tap’s these go to eleven although I will be topping them by going all the way to 12. I can’t make it to work anymore and I nap most every day for at least two hours. But we’re in the home stretch now with only two more weeks of treatment to go. Of course it will take some time for me to recover from the treatments and stop feeling the side-effects so my ordeal won’t actually be over, just the treatments will.
We’re not expecting any more problems. Unbelievably, no vassospasms. Although my fingertips have gone from feeling pins and needles on occasion to being completely numb. I’m hoping this is just the lack of Oxilaplatin that I’ve enjoyed since Christmas just working itself out. But these side-effects can start and stop long after treatment has ended. I just hope we stopped the Oxi in time so the numbness is not permanent.

Hi Ray~ it took me a sec to remember the Spinal Tap reference. I haven’t thought of that one in a while. Glad you’re able to rest and that you only have one more session to go.
