Yesterday night I woke up twice soaking wet from really bad night sweats. Then after my injection appointment I went home and took a nap and had really bad night sweats again. My wife called my oncologist's office and they suspect it may be due to the Leukine shots. They told me to wait and see how I did the following night. I did wake up once last night and was sweating slightly, but nowhere nearly as bad as the previous night. Today I felt pretty normal as far as the sweating goes, that is up until the evening. I felt a little nauseous and was sweating on and off. I also felt either hot or cold so I constantly had to adjust the clothing and blankets I was wearing to get comfortable, although my body temperature hovered around 98 degrees. I guess I'll see what tonight holds.
My mucus production was closer to normal last night and I actually got a pretty good nights sleep for once. I woke up and my mouth was a little on the dry side. For most of the day it's been a little better as of late. However in the evening I started feeling dry spots popping up in my mouth. It's really weird to have all this saliva in your mouth yet feel like there's islands of dryness. I also think I have a sinus infection since I'm coughing up green mucous occasionally. I've been on an antibiotic for about 5 days now but it doesn't seem to be helping with that. I'll have to bring it up with my oncologist again tomorrow.
My wife spoke with my oncologists office today asking them about my labs. They told her that my white blood cell count may still not be up by Thursday so they may have to delay my treatments again. I certainly hope not. I was told my chemo was supposed to take place in conjunction with my radiation. Now that I'm done with radiation is the chemo really going to be beneficial that far away from radiation? Again, another question for my oncologist.
Til tomorrow then.
