Well here I am again at UT Hosptial Oncology Unit. I dreaded my return as the last visit here was not pleasant. I'm hoping and praying that this infusion treats me with more kindness. My physician has decreased my chemo by 30% which makes me quite happy. Hope its enough to thwart off the cancer and also keep the side effects from being so insane. It's the end of day 2. My chemo has been infusing for about 24 hours now. I'm beginning to feel the yucky sneak in. My food is starting to taste icky, like chemicals, my mouth is feeling funny, like the beginnning of thrush and I'm starting to feel a little sicky, like under the weather...ggrrrrr...
If all goes well, I will be finished with my chemo Thursday night, finish the Mesna Friday morning, get discharged, wheel over to Dr. Kilgore's office for my Neulesta injection then home again!
We'll be getting ready for our Thanksgiving when I get home. I decided I was going to have Thanksgiving at our house like we usually do. If I don't feel well, I'll deal with it. I'm not going to fret over it. And, I'll have the help of my children, in-laws and 2 of my sisters! So, hey I'm good!
So, I'm happy that round 2 is underway. After round 3 I get re-scanned. My hope is that it shows NED (No evidence of disease) and I won't have to have additional treatments. We'll see....
