We brought two concerns to clinic today: KK's peripheral vision on the right side and brown spots on her tongue. I noticed the issue with her peripheral vision while we were at Disney. She kept bumping into things on her right side when she was driving the scooter. They are going to schedule a visual field test, hopefully at one of our clinic days in January. I noticed the brown spots on her tongue last night...KK noticed them before last night but didn't think anything about them. The doctor said the spots are her taste buds dying which is normal for someone on chemo. (UPDATE: I just read on the American Cancer Society's website that "these dark spots are called hyperpigmentation. This is more common in dark-skinned people. The cause is not clear, it’s not painful or dangerous, and it goes away on its own after treatment ends.")
KK is fighting a cold, so she is currently sleeping through her two infusions.
