Chemo 4

I saw my oncologist this morning during my chemo session and we discussed the problems I had been experiencing with extreme fatigue and I was starting to show signs of depression. My platelet counts were low and I began experiencing spontaneous nose bleeds over the past week. Cold sensitivity from the Oxialplatin lingered and the recovery window from chemo, days when I felt halfway descent was down to about 3 days between treatments. This was especially, disturbing since Oxilaplatin can cause neuropathy in the feet and hands and being diabetic already increases my risk of neuropathy. He changed my treatment schedule from that point on from every 2 weeks to every 3 weeks. Allowing me a little more recovery time. He also wanted to get some genetic testing done to rule out problems with DNA mismatch repair.
