Side effects 9.2

Today marks the start of week number two for radiation etc. I’ve developed the mouth sores that are common for chemotherapy patients. Although it’s irritating I should be able to deal with it as long as they don’t become gaping holes. Just another side effect to add to the long list.

One of the more famous casualties of cancer is hair loss. I’m actively combating this though by applying Rogaine. If by the time my treatment ends I still have my hair those fuckers better make me a spokesperson!

As new side effects continue to rear their ugly heads I’ll be there to meet them head on. But it’s the previous effects from this cancer that have drained my soul. I use the toilet a ridiculous amount of times per day. This interferes with my sleep since my body is trained not to shit on myself while sleeping. I’m not sure how much longer I can go on with 2 hours of sleep per night.

I’m also due to see the cardiologist today. My dumb elite ass always wanting to be within the top 1% earned me a spot in the 1% of people who have heart issues as a side effect to the chemotherapy. #BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor.

I feel like death today but I’m not ready to be taken away so I’ll keep pushing forward. A bonus to all of this is I’ll be nuclear war ready after all this radiation treatment
