well, today was supposed to be shorter, but it still dragged on a bit. The actual infusion was only 30 minutes, but the start was delayed by almost an hour.
they opted to go ahead and give me the chemo, provided I protect myself from possible infection and then begin a series of injections to boost my white blood cell count. those start tomorrow here in Silverdale. Bad thing is I need to get them on Saturday and Sunday too, and I had wanted to spend the weekend at Julie's. May have to be a day trip now, after the shot in the morning or something.
I felt really tired by the time I got home, and took a nap while Dad went to the store and stuff. I managed to eat a little. This chemo round apparently is not as nausea producing as the one I got last week, so they just gave me the usual anti nausea there, and then I have the other stuff here that I can take. I need to remember to take it on a regular basis, and not wait till I am feeling ill.
Next week I will go in for a bone scan, to see if my bones are clear. I can not even imagine what the result will be if they are not. Don't want to go there. Plus I meet with Dr. Sun on Friday, this week to decide what to do about the stronger chemo dosage. Do we go for the kidney drain tube or not? Anybody out there have any experience with that?
