I Dropped the Angel

Today I broke the angel Christmas coffee mug. I am not sure exactly what I did to drop it, but it felt like my fingers closed over the handle and bounced open as I was pulling it from the shelf.

It seems to be part of the chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy. I think the cumulative doses of cisplatin is the culprit.

It should improve as I am able to excersie more and has less of the chemo in my system. Some estimate improvement in 6 to 12 months after chemo ends. I hope it clears up sooner.

Apparently the ringing in my ears is part of that. They do expect that to improve.

I guess I am getting well enough be more concerned about the side effects instead of just lying around with my feet up.



One of the nurses recommended 15 mg glutamine twice a day. I need to get some and do that. I think they sell it at Whole Foods.

Now plan for Thanksgiving!
