Progress Report

It's now two weeks since I started my new treatment. Briefly,

Days 1 to 5 - I took the chemo pills, along with anti-nausea pills. Things were fine: I was tired, but not as much as when I was taking immunotherapy last year.

Day 6 - a rash appeared all over my body. Fortunately it didn't itch too badly.

Day 8 - started having headaches. Not too bad, but enough that I lost interest in reading and couldn't use the computer much.

Day 11 - headaches finally went away for good. Rash began fading.

Day 14 - a visual "aura" (zigzag lines) gradually appeared in my left eye. Cleared up after 20 minutes.

Day 16 - feeling pretty good, energy level is way up. No side-effects. Accordion playing has improved :)
