Today Is the Most Dangerous

2008/6/18 8:04:09

Yesterday was the first day of hydration therapy. Two more days to go. Among them, today involves the two most dangerous chemotherapy drugs, one of which is the one I previously mentioned that has killed patients on administration. Last time when this ID received it, there was full-course monitoring — equipment strapped to my body — waiting until the drug finished. This time it's a different hospital. Yesterday I already insisted on instrument monitoring, and since I'm not in the oncology ward right now, they agreed to borrow the equipment for today.

After hydration therapy is complete, there are still 11 consecutive days of oral medication, plus the 3 days starting yesterday — 14 days total of Xeloda, which is a substitute for 5-FU. The latter gave this ID quite a lot of trouble last time. This time I've switched to the oral version — I'd rather the duration be longer. Took the first dose yesterday. No particular reaction. Should be bearable.

Yesterday the market couldn't get above 2917, and naturally it continued to probe the bottom. Now the relevant levels are yesterday's high and 2917. For the market to stop falling, it must first hold yesterday's high. And breaking through and holding 2917 means it can extend into a stroke — it's that simple.

However, after the market approaches 2700, a relatively safe rebound point could appear at any time. So please keep a close eye on the interval narrowing formed by small-level trends.

Squeezed in a few words during breakfast. Got to go now. If today goes smoothly, I'll come back online to report I'm safe.
