Chemo Yesterday

All was fine, hbg was actually at 10.3 dag/dl, so there was no need to order an blood to be transfused.  I had been taking supplemental Iron, and enjoying various beef sources.  For example, Laura and I went to Hickory Tavern and I had the French dip, which was pretty good.

This location is close to work, and I'm supposed to have some kind of discount card from working in this building. I need to find that card. It's a little too far for me to walk, so I'll be taking the car next time I go there for lunch.  Unfortunately, the handicap parking is not very close there.

Hair fall out is expected to get worse, and I am seeing my thumbnails get a lot thicker. Other nails a showing shiny cuticles.

I had mentioned the shortness of breath, but I don't think Dr. Burgess quite understood the complaint, as my nurse later tired to schedule a CT scan of my lungs.  I tried my best to explain that this was not truly a pulmonary condition, as my breathing is just fine.  It's just that after a fairly small exertion I am winded as though I had run a mile or so.

It occurs to me that at my next appointment, I should just demonstrate it but doing a flight of stairs and letting them do vitals and see what I'm talking about.
