I started a new medication on the 9th and by the 16th the speech difficulties came back. So, the oncologist told me to stop the new medication and see her next week. My appointment is on Wednesday.
I spoke with neurology today and the neurologist said if I get any new symptoms to head straight to the ER. She’s confident it’s medication related, not anything more. While talking with her, I had the same speech difficulties that I had on the video visit on Tuesday that prompted the call to the oncologist and neurology. The neurologist also said to have a low threshold for heading to the ER if I get any new symptoms.
I’ve noticed that the speech difficulties come back if I’m at all anxious about the conversation I’m having.
It’s all very weird but just another part of this cancer journey.
