Chemo #4
Routine? Start of the day a little difficult, fatigue accumulates but everything bathes it is beautiful, spring finally arrives, everything seems easier, people are more carefree, A priori it is my fourth and last chemo if everything continues to go for the best.

Check-up visit, everything's fine
Chemo #3
30/03/2023 Well, today I'm a little worshipper. At first I let myself wake up, like a drool, by an email intended to retrieve a password that I had on the Supreme Court site, so I spent 40 minutes then settling the problem with the host and I had to change my words from [...]

As such, they can propose experimental protocols to which "standard" hospitals will only have access once they have been validated. Several people had advised against accepting any unvalidated protocol with, [...]
Team Judge
The time for preliminary examinations is coming to an end, it's Kaiser Poumon's fault, so I'm going to be transferred to Cornil-Brissaud in the Pneumology Department. First contact. What we imagine I have to admit that medicine never interested me: knowing how it all works is (was?) to me, without interest. Maybe the fingerprint of [...]
Food
So we didn't eat everything, were we hungry? One of the haunts of doctors in this kind of disease is that the treatment cuts your appetite (nausea, inflammation of the mouth, constipation and others) and that you lose weight. Because if you lose weight, you lose muscle and you weaken. [...]
