Every evening my temperature is elevated, between 37.2 to 37.5 degrees Celsius. Still struggling with a gum infection, which may be its cause, but I feel that this not likely. Seeing a Dentist early next week, the earliest time that was available that did not clash with what is now a very busy schedule.<\/p>\n<p>High Dose Vitamin C IV I am starting to like. This week I got up to the full dose of 90g, which roughly works out at 1.5g per kilogram of body weight. I have it 3x per week, and every day that I have it, my nausea has been greatly reduced or eliminated. Today I actually feel normal which after 6 months of near constant nausea is an amazing feeling.<\/p>\n<p>My nausea is getting stronger however, but this is more due to my liver problem than chemo. I have made the decision not to take any anti nausea medications, especially since Zofran did not seem to do much anyway. I figure my liver does not need the extra load. I am learning to live with it.<\/p>\n<p>My blood counts following Round 2 were the lowest to date, but still good enough to continue with this cycle. Especially red blood cells. I got sloppy with my nettle tea consumption, so will try harder as this herb seems to help.<\/p>\n<p>Avastin continues to cause havoc and blowing my nose is often quite a bloody experience. Wounds are slow to heal, which I am seeing with a burnt elbow (don&#8217;t ask, long story involving my home made local hyperthermia device).<\/p>\n<p>No other side effects to report, which is good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My low grade fever continues.
