this is not good to hear at all! at the same time it's great this had nothing to do with the cancer though (and was a side effect of treatment). this is bonkers. i really hope this kind of bullshit doesn't go further, i imagine chemotherapy is bad enough as it is without any additional problems.

maybe this isn't the best time to ask, but how would you say overall your medical care has been? from your experience so far has it been good or bad? like with this leg thing, did you have a hard time convincing doctors you didn't think it was chemo pain, and other instances like this?

I had more problems convincing my mom and others that I was in trouble. the doctor tried to help over the phone but he thought like everyone else it was chemo pain. basically this was very bad and I'm considering talking to other docs, yeah. today was a bad day.

Check out a Naturopathic Doctor just for good measure

Your stories make my body in pain. Man, please get through this I hate hearing about people in constant pain.

Man anything to do with KNEES puts me on edge I don't know why, fuck that shit.

I dont get it, like, are white blood cells typed like say, blood type, and you had an incompatible injection somehow, or is it more like some sort of general rejection of white blood cell injection

I wish I knew someone who went through chemo so I would go to them and give them a hug and then leave, without any explanation of the gesture and completely out of context
"this...this was for steel", he mutters in french...

Give us an update soon Steel!

oh man, that sucks. I know white blood cells can cause some problems but I had no idea they could fuck you up like that

I have an idea how painful that shit can be, a couple years ago my knee started to swell up and I had no clue why. for some reason I didn't tell anyone until it became so painful that I couldn't walk, and if I tried to move my leg it kinda felt like the bones were separated.  my mom took me to the doc and after a few tests it turned out I had mid to late stage lyme disease. it continued to swell up a little after that until the killer antibiotics started working, I couldn't sleep the 2 days after the doctor visit because of the pain and the doctor didn't want me to take painkillers with the doxycycline. while this was probably the worst pain I've ever felt, it must be much worse for you because fuck you're on painkillers and everything! that sounds so horrible dude.

yesterday was interesting. I got on the painkillers for my leg only to discover one of them had the handy sideeffect of EXTREME BACK PAIN. basically had weird intermittent hour sleep.

today I retched a little and my shoulders were killing me, but one of my mom's friend's who is a physical therapist helped and suggested I think about a masseuse so I'll be talking to the doc about that, as well as valerian root. right now I'm trying to relax all the pain away which is helping somewhat.

I really had no idea chemo would be this hard PITY ME FOREVER I guess but jesus. I go in again Tuesday for a treatment but ironically I haven't had so much symptoms from that as from everything AROUND that. Monday (tomorrow) we go in to see why my sodium count is so high or something because it was in the hospital. more blood drawn w00t.

time to relax I guess. VELFARRE...MY PZIZZ..

time to relax I guess. VELFARRE...MY PZIZZ..

someone here had the full version for windows, whoever it is should up that shit back to the zoo for you

man, i can feel this pain when you're talking about it. it sounds terrible. my advice: take lots of drugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GET WELL BUDDY WE'VE STILL GOT SHIT TO DO TOGETHER!!!

nah I'm actually avoiding the drugs, other than anti-nausea. I feel better, although pretty loopy from drugs yesterday and everything last night. basically it's just stress in my shoulders for the most part.

I've got some constipation but they gave me stool softener so soon........I'll have a great shit.....

but yeah I'm trying to fight off the drowsiness so tonight I can finally sleep better! my friend William wanted to bring his PS3 and let me play MGS4 and he has already lent me his 360 and basically he's a great friend but I've been unable to concentrate on the games even.

anyways I'm taking some bort/other people advice and basically trying to push myself a little more than I should so I get tired tonight but man the drugs from yesterday and last night are in my head. they have this weird effect where suddenly I want to lean my head to a certain direction.

also I'm going to ask about valerian root tomorrow.

it took fuckin cancer to get you to take doktormartini advice.........

can you eat at the hospital???????????? ask a friend to bring you pot brownies or pot grilled sandwiches or whatever. i bet its really boring to sit all day so i bet that would entertain you for a while! and its not that obvious and it doesnt smells like shit

dude I am not at the hospital! I just had to go in for the knee thing.

anyways today we're meeting the doc where I plan on kind of yelling about the knee thing (I really should have been told that was a sideeffect) and then getting my blood tested. keep your fingers crossed my white blood cells and sodiums are okay!

I'm losing hair already btw it sucks. lots of strands on the pillow this morning.

quick, shave your head!!!

I want to but mom doesn't and I hate it. I will have to convince her.

also we decided not to go in today, since tomorrow I have to go in for chemo anyways and we can do the blood test then. sucks though because I really wanted to ask about the valerian root but the nurse should call back and I hope she will know.
