Three weeks after the RAI treatment, the lump on my neck is 3/4 gone. This means that I can now have my picture taken without covering my neck with menus, etc. This also means that I can now eat as much cassava cake and shellfish as I want. It's a great feeling to wake up in the morning and not feel like tipping over. From a pulse rate of 120, I am finally down to an 80, improving my stamina immensely. I still can't participate in strenuous activities (straight out of the doctor's mouth) but the mere fact that I can go up the stairs without panting is a feat, even for me.
There are still a number of things to work on, however. For instance, even if I am finally gaining weight, the results are mostly seen in my stomach and I go around looking three months pregnant. I still have frequent hand tremors and sweat much quicker than I used to, and I still have to use disposable spoons and forks till the 20th. Also, the radiation has affected my cycle and it seems to have decided on skipping March entirely. This is frustrating because the extended PMS not only means longer periods of feeling weepy and irritable, but a longer fucked-up subconscious as well. I don't understand it but I always get the most vivid and the most bizarre dreams right before my period. To date, I have dreamt of random surprising boys, including Ace Young, falling in love with me. It's frustrating.
In any case, I'm feeling much better and am very grateful for science and technology.
P.S. I'm thinking of putting up a book-review blog so are any of you interested? Nothing major, no domains or anything, just a bunch of people who have more time than they know what to do with.
P.P.S. I finally remembered to buy Up dharma Down's cd and have been listening repeatedly to "Oo" and "Pag-Agos." "Oo" reminds me too much of grade school and high school. Malas mo, ikaw ang natipuhan ko...
