...side effects!
I knew I shouldn't tempt fate with that recent post! As well as the new injections for my white blood cells, it seems the expected side effect of cetuximab - magnesium deficiency has finally caught up with me; having been up and down like a yoyo, it finally dipped below the threshold, so I'm in the clinic for a four(!) hour infusion!!!
This may be a one off, depending on future readings. or it could be a top up each treatment day - I hope the latter... But the effects of low magnesium tie in with some of my lesser symptoms (night cramps, muscle reduction), so it is again a GOOD THING to be sitting here!!
As for my white blood cell injections, it's "only" a five day course, starting each Monday after treatment - could be worse...
...in fact, these first few C9 days have been the best start to a cycle in a few, we seem to have got the balance of steroids and other "medication" right!
PS: why "nine and more"? It's cycle 9, but you can change " nine" to "milk" in three letter changes... Support your local milkman - we do!!
