Potassium

[moon_chan]

So I went for chemo treatment number 5 yesterday. This ended up being the longest chemo treatment ever, because I was in for a surprise. Apparently, my body has been deciding to, for whatever reason, remove "excess" potassium in my system, leaving me only a few points above the "omg, you need to be in the hospital" level. THANK YOU KIDNEYS! You

No way, dude. I am enjoying the attention and frequently having my blood drained out of my body.

Hopefully but spring I'll be better and have my sexy scar to show for it.

Having seen so many family members go through the treatments, I'm grateful they caught it before it progressed any further. Potassium shut down is a terrible, terrible thing.

I'm very proud of you though, Moonie, that you're keeping a positive nature. I have faith in you that everything is going to turn out wonderful. You're spirit is living proof.

I'm thinking of you always and love you dearly! ::hugs::

Faith is keeping me going, babe. That and friends like you.

Oh yes, and my pillow pet has been by my computer. If I feel ill, I lay my head on him and I feel better.

You know it, babe. :)

My Dad ended up getting a port implanted, after his veins were fried from chemo a couple years ago.

Hang in there. *hugs*

My doctor doesn't like ports, hates them actually. He knows some people need them, like your dad, but he said I wouldn't need one. :) Hey, I only have one more chemo session left! Almost done!

*hugs* Oi vey @___@ Chemo is certainly a drag, but Sama is strong and kicks much ass at getting better!

My mom had to have potassium as well as those Nulasta shots because her white and red counts would drop out during her infusions.

Love you! <3333333333
