On Monday we hit the tumor which then measured 6.5cm x 5.5cm with a different chemo drug called Cisplatin. As part of a more agressive treatment plan, the medicine was delivered over a larger part of my liver. This time we treated 60% of the surface of the right lobe of my liver.
I received a large dose of steroids prior to the chemoembolization to reduce the side effects. After a few days, I will start feeling the fatigue, mental fog and physical discomfort from the chemo, but right now I just feel restless and have imsomnia.
The primary physical symptom I am having is hiccups of all things. I had them following the last two CE treatments also, and as innocuous as they sound, having hiccups non-stop day and night makes it hard to eat, talk - and as my body wants to get some rest, the hiccups make more than a few hours of sleep impossible. It is nothing I haven't dealt with before and I hope that they will pass in a few more days.
