Today is supposedly my follow-up with my onco after a week, but I already went yesterday because of some discomforts.
The days after I went out of the hospital was really tough. I had diarrhea after chemotherapy which they say is one of the effects that had to bear with. I was prescribed with Luperamide to stop the visits. But you know what happens when you take those. It's going to give you a hard time going back to doing it again normally. So, since it was harder for me do it again, I took the aid of stool softeners and I was feeling okay by Monday.
But the pins and needles issue on both my feet and hands are another problem. And this was what made me visit the onco a day early.
Expectedly, I was told that this is another effect of the drug. I was told to double the dosage of my vitamin B complex to help me ease it out. I just wonder how many days before these pins and needles go away.
I have been wanting to write. But all those discomforts and pain hinders me to. It still actually does as of now. I guess it's just that things have been a little (only a little) better since the past few days. I miss talking to my friends, too, but I couldn't get the mood or I quickly lose patience in talking as much as writing.
It's a good thing that a lot of my friends understand. There are no phone calls. Many of my friends just send messages, text messages and e-mails saying that they are just a call away if I am already in the mood to talk.
Thanks for understanding. I hope this would only be for a few more days.
