Title: I'm a Pin Cushon!
Post by: Ken on September 12, 2024, 08:20:09 PM

I'm a Pin Cushion for the next several weeks!   shocked003

This new Chemo drug that I'm on is causing my potassium levels to show as being too high, so then they give me a liter of IV fluids. Now they have me coming in once a week for blood work and an IV, turning me into a pin cushion.

BTW, this new drug, Lenvima, retails for $25,550 a month.  :censored:

Yikes! On the cost!

On the flip side, I was told mine are a bit low and to eat more oranges and bananas...
