This morning, I had my blood work and oncologist visit.
With my regular oncologist away, this new oncologist wanted to run some extra tests on me to help explain some of the fatigue I am experiencing. We ran an arterial blood gas test and a urine test. For the arterial blood gas test they stuck a needle into my artery in my wrist. No biggy... another need poke. They where looking at the PH of my blood. The test results showed my blood is a bit acidic but not bad. I have no results back on the urine test.
We also booked another test dealing with my kidneys that will be done just before my next CT scan. Sorry too much information and I missed what the test was called.

I received a prescription called BURO -Sol Power TCD for my onoycholysis a.k.a. chemo nails. Looks like I will be soaking my fingers a couple times a day.
Every thing else looks good for my 16 th chemo treatment tomorrow.
I'm off to pick up my prescriptions ...
