when i got the devasting news that the c cells are finally spreading. i dreaded the thoughts of going through the chemo process as the doc explain to me what drugs were they going to administer and i had to go thru 3 cycles of it... initially i had the slightest idea of what is it and what is going to happen but it turns out to be a nightmare for me...
the c cells were present in between the 2 kidneys... some 30mm in size... scary as it sounds and as it can seen from the ct scan... i had to be warded in patient for the first week of the chemo treatment... things were not too bad then and i still could even move around freely while receiving the intravenous treamtent... some of my friends came by and visit me in hospital and i could even company them at the food court for their meals... sounds like a holiday camp! hahaha... i even got discharged when doc says i am doing very well and went home to rest but things started to turn nasty when back home.... the nightmare begins... went into twilight zone...
the first side effect came eventually... i started throwing out... badly it seems but i endure... thinking is normal for chemo parients to throw out... but few days when i went back for threatment. i threw out while doing it half way thru and had to be warded... even though the doc told me he gave me the srongest medicine to stop the nauseous feeling... apparently it did not help in any way...
more side effects followed thereafter... i had vivid memories... 2 or 3 instances where i had to be rushed to a&e due to diarrhoea and high fever... suddenly stomach and urine got infection... low blood counts... went into isolation... blood and platletes transfusion... low potassium and magnesium and had to replenish but that really hurts as it burns my veins...
i went into hallucinations at times... my body was turned upside down hanging from the ceiling... there are many people around my hospital bed rocking me furiously and a big stome keep pressing on my body making me helpless... many others followed... too many to remember... too vague to remember at times... i could not sleep at night without the help of sleeping pills... it became a daily affair...
