About Shades of Cancer

We decided to blog about our cancers, after meeting in the chemo (infusion) room. We spent many hours talking to each other about what we had problems with, what worked, what didn't work, the ongoing challenges, and how cancer continues to change our lives. 

Jess' Stage IIB Head-and-Neck (Tongue) Cancer had and continues to have challenges in treatment, surgeries, and learning to eat, drink, and talk. 

Sylvia's Stage IV Triple Negative Breast Cancer is a chronic cancer. Researchers keep finding new directions and new attack strategies for metastatic cancer. The trick is to find the one that works on me.

We are two of the shades of cancer.

Neither of us are medical professionals, medical researchers, nor medical experts. What we have to say comes from personal experience and any research we may have done on our own.

Jess and Sylvia

About Chemo

I've been getting chemo since July, 2018. How often I've gotten chemo depends on the chemo drug protocol; sometimes every other week, sometimes every 2 of 3 weeks. The off weeks allow me to recover and regain strength as well as improve my lab numbers. Every time I get chemo, I also get blood work at the lab. The medical staff are looking at red and white blood cell counts, electrolytes like potassium, minerals like calcium, and liver and kidney functions. There is also something else - cancer marker levels. For me, it's CA 27-29. Each cancer has its own marker. Sometimes, I see the doctor or the physician's assistant before chemo. They may want to discuss lab results or ask how I'm dealing with the chemo drugs. I get weighed each time - chemo solutions are made for me personally and for the amount I weigh. Large fluctuations in weight also raise flags for the medical staff. Once I've signed in on the chemo list, I help myself to a chemo chair with IV p...

It's not about you

It all seems so simple - should you wear a mask or go out to eat in a crowded restaurant or run alongside your friends? It is simple if the only person who may be affected by your decision is you and only you. But, do you have parents, grandparents, other family, a partner, a spouse, friends, or co-workers? Do you know their health histories? Maybe someone has heart disease or high blood pressure. Maybe someone else has an autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. Maybe someone has COPD. Maybe another person just had a transplant and is on immune suppressant drugs. And, maybe someone just began or ended a course of radiation or chemotherapy. There is no way to know whether everyone you come within physical distance of is at risk of any virus, whether coronavirus or the flu. So why would you risk the health of someone you like or love or a stranger who happens to walk by you? Is your freedom to wear your mask or not worth it? Think of social distancing and wearing ...

Those dreaded side effects

For the past 22 months, I've become more and more of a couch potato, a slug, a lazy bum. I know it's not my fault but it's still difficult to think back only a couple of years ago and compare myself to the person I used to be. Everything we eat, take, ingest, breathe, and absorb has side effects, even food. GI distress, food related infections, headaches from certain additives, irregular heartbeat from too much caffeine or sugar, and then, of course, poor dietary habits leading to heart disease, weight gain, and so on. We don't think of these side effects too often because, hey, it's food, right!? Over the counter pain killers can cause kidney or liver or stomach issues if overdone or incorrectly used. There are gluten or other food allergies. And, the list goes on and on. Most of us live a relatively uneventful life and work around our specific side effects. For those of us who either have or are undergoing treatments for cancer such as radiation or chemo, we...
