Well, Friday the 4th was my first appointment to do my labs, see the oncologist and her chemo coordinator and then get hooked up for chemo. This all started 12:20 pm ... Lab accidentally missed me on their list , but luckily after a nice lab tech got me taken care of I was on my way to meeting the doc. We didn't get sent over to the treatment infusion center until almost 3. The staff at St. Luke's is just wonderful! The nice nurse, Bonnie, hooked me up with the IV and got some nausea meds, steroids and then later the red devil adriamyacin and the cytoxin chemo drugs pushed in. In my honest opinion I felt good through it all. T.M.I..... I was warned my urine would change to red after and let me tell you it did! LoL I went potty just as we left and it was very visible. That is the Red Devil chemo.
We came home around 5:30-6 pm and I relaxed and lounged in the recliner the rest of the evening.
Julia came home Saturday .. Thanks to their Aunts, Uncles and cousins for taking great care of her .
Forward to yesterday I did sleep ok, but steroids had my body a little jittery. A little nausea, but thankfully the meds nipped that quickly. Thanks to my hubby, Jeff for taking care of us too!
Today I have not been able to sleep, I wonder why... Steroids!
Oh, before I forget... They attached a self injecting patch on my belly for a neulasta shot that injected successfully last night. That shot helps my bone marrow and keeps my white blood cell counts up so I can stay strong for the chemo. I should expect some body aches in the next 3-5 days. Hair loss 7 days or so out. Becoming more tired each day. So I plan on spending as much time resting.
