Not much to report tonight. I still have numbness in my fingers and toes and I’m feeling lethargic. Actually I feel like I could zonk out in a heartbeat. I suspect it’s because I’m just not sleeping well. I am also trying to survive without caffeine. A good cup of coffee would really light my fire right now.
I spoke to my doctor friend about the pain in my back and he insisted I bring it to the attention of my oncologist. I’ll put together a missive tomorrow. Since doctors don’t do email, I type up what I want to report and fax it to the doctor. I figure, if they receive it, they are probably required by law to read it and file it in my folder.

Posted by: Greg at October 28, 2005 7:51 PMEven though you fax your oncologist Be sure to bring it up to him/her face to face & get a direct answer. Tell them you want to know why & what you can do about it.

I've missed the point about the caffeine somewhere. Does the caffeine cause problems with the medication or is it that you just can't drink it in the evening for obvious reasons?
