Wednesday Sept 13 Update
A quick update. I am back at home but not out of the woods. My ifosfamide treatment resulted in some pretty severe “mental confusion” symptoms. This is a common effect from this drug – I didn’t know the date, couldn’t, answer simple questions or explain simple concepts. The effects have largely subsided but I ended getting about 5/7th of the dose planned. It was a very scary experience for me, and I felt like I had Alzheimer's.
I am not tackling continued GI tract issues, largely in the form of trouble swallowing and a wicked cough. I am trying hard to stave of dehydration along with Jenny. I am getting a C/T scan done this week to check my chest, but I am hoping to avoid admission to the hospital.
Overall, it’s been very stressful and I am keep waiting for things to get better. All for now, please send emails vs phone calls please.
