My cancer diary:
Tuesday - May 22, 2001
[total: day 107][chemo-cycle 3: day 5]

"Yesterday was a little better than the day before yesterday. It seems as if my body accomodates to the cytotoxica. I had to throw up a few times, but not as heavily as earlier on.

The regular blood check this morning reveals that my blood has become quite toxic. The cytotoxica are obviously working. Unfortunately they have such a toxic effect on my body, especially the liver, that the team decides to pause for a day.

Thus no chemotherapy today, another day longer in the hospital than expected.

It's just sodium chloride that is running into my veins. Still I feel quite exhausted and sleep a lot during the day."
