Chemotherapy Round 4

Happy December everyone! I just got admitted for my 4th cycle of chemotherapy on the 1st, and just started the first round of drugs today. It usually takes a day for them to prepare the drugs. I've been trying to rush them... but I learnt that alot of people are involved in the process — the doctor will first calculate the concentration of the drugs from my height, weight, and BODY SURFACE AREA (which is 1.6 m2 btw lol), and then fax it over to the pharmacy lab to prepare the drugs, and which they will finally send it over to the ward when they are done. So I guess I can understand why they take so long every time!

For the next chemotherapy cycle, I am really hoping that it won't clash with christmas or new year's. Dr Lim says he'll try his best to push it forward so that it will end just before christmas but this will only happen IF my blood counts rise up in time after this 4th round... or there's a back up plan of coming in on boxing day, and going home on new year's eve. Don't wanna be in hospital on neither occasions, that'll be a major mood dampener but I know health comes first, so fingers crossed!

Anyway, here's some mid-week organic pasta cheer! Salmon (marinated with terriyaki sauce) with aglio olio, handmade chia meatballs (really proud of this one — second time making this, and the chia seeds make the meatballs so moist!) with tomato pesto fusilli, and a ~fusion~ miso salmon with miso pasta haha #domesticated
