Regime #8, day 2

[3 Mar 2009, 05:04:36 PM]

After a week of deliberation, it was decided that I should try a new cocktail. Of course I could rest a little longer and not do anything. I chose not to wait. With the CNY celebrations and low platelet count rest period, I believed I had rested almost two months.


Decided to do the sorafenib and navelbine oral regime. I think my veins, my flesh, and myself need recuperating. Dr Wong put me on a low dosage first and would monitor my response. I chose to start yesterday, being a new month. Five hours after I consumed the pills, I became a "sprinter"... sprinting to the toilet! I had diarrhea which lasted till almost ten at night. This was in stark contrast to the previous regime where I had constipation. Such extreme! Afraid of being dehydrated and weak, I drank "porridge water". However, the more I drank, the more I lost. The toilet bowl was totally bombed out! Hahaha.


I sent out an sms to LX requesting for prayer support as I was feeling really lousy and miserable. I skipped my BSF class last night and asked Estella to help me collect the notes. Don't believe I could and should attend class at all in that state. I was glad when the "sprinting" finally stopped before ten.


This morning the helper made a concoction of "black dates with black sugar and ginger slices". I was greeted with a cup of warm "porridge water" when I woke up, which soothed my empty stomach. I am still experiencing occasional abdominal pain, but certainly feeling much better now. ^_^
