Today is Saturday and I worked all day at my dental billing job for eight hours and felt fine all day. Now, tonight, I started to feel a little woozy so I took a pill. It's too early in the treatment to draw any conclusions. I am scheduled to have chemo every Friday for three consecutive weeks and then have one week off and do that for three cycles (nine infusions over 12 weeks).
This is called maintenance chemo and will hopefully continue keeping the cancer from turning aggressive and spreading.
I want all my readers to get a better understanding of what chemo is all about. So here is a YouTube video that a good friend introduced me to that I found to be most entertaining, although it will definitely be best understood and appreciated by anyone who has had chemotherapy. The rest of you may find it just plain silly, but hopefully not objectionable.
Also, please allow me to introduce you to my array of Asian doctors (and their ethnicity)
Primary care physician: Dr. Peter Oh (Korean)
Oncologist: Dr. Nelson Yee (Hong Kong)
Ophthalmologist: Dr. Wenxin Wéi (Chinese), pronounced "we"
"Oh Yee of little faith. Wei shall overcome cancer some day."
I am not looking to add to my collection of physicians, but if I did, I would like another, but different, vowel. Maybe Dr. Yú??
Lol!! I just found a list of real docs w/ funny names ... Dr. Si Yoo.
