Treatment 3/18 (3 of 8)
Posted by chrissy | Filed under Treatment Updates
Well, this treatment was a little bit easier to handle. After the meeting with the the PA before treatment, and going over everything that has been going on…bloody noses, fatigue, just the general feeling of blah, and feeling like I was just plain done with all of this, we decided to change some things up. They added a different pre-med that I get the day of treatment and then the next two days as well. I got extra fluid during treatment too. I had Bob and Megan there and we actually played phase 10 twice, which took up almost two hours of the treatment. I came home and slept pretty soild between 7 and 10. I got up on Thursday and was up from about 8 to 12, ate two meals and then slept until dinner and then was up for a little bit more then right ot bed. On Friday I was up on and off and ate three meals again. I know it sounds like a whole lot of fun, eating and sleeping, but it was a good treatment cycle for me. I didn’t get sick at all!!!! That’s probably the best thing ever. I went in for disconnect on Friday and they gave me a steroid and anti-nausa along with my extra fuilds, which seemed to help quite a bit. We tried to go to hockey on Saturday, but I only made it through half the first game and Bob was stuck finding someone to go Saturday night with him. I felt really bad making him leave the game early, but I was so out of it and tired that I was practically falling asleep at the game, plus I really wanted to make it to the Wild game on Sunday. So, I am feeling pretty much back to normal, I don’t feel drugged out anymore, which helps. I feel aware and awake even if I am a little bit tired still. Don’t ask me how after all the sleep over the last few days, I can still be tired. Apparently, I was just catching up on everything. So today its off to the Wild game and then hanging out doing much of nothing. I wish I ddin’t have to go through these cycles anymore, but since I do I really want the rest of them to go as smoothly as this one did. Oh, well at most 5 left and the least maybe two left…I’ll know more after my scans on 4/8, I’ll know the results on 4/15. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for the chemo kicking the cancer’s ass and those damn tumors will be nothing when the scans done.
