Friday: Got to the medical center and had blood drawn, then saw Dr. Grosett. He said I'd only be getting the chemo (CHOP) today, and then on Tuesday would get the ritux. Since I had a severe reaction (low blood pressure), I'd only gotten a "baby" dose (little less than half). I'll get another small dose on Tuesday. Nurse said I'm scheduled for 8 cycles of it, but really will have more infusions since I haven't gotten a 'full' dose. Doc said it looks like my lymph nodes are continuing to shrink.
Next I went up to the cancer center and began my infusions. Finished around 3pm and Jim picked me up. Have to drink at least 3qts of water. I really pushed it and felt pretty bad. Felt crummy all night. This chemo round didn't sit as well as the first (cumlative), plus all that water meant I felt really rotten.
Saturday: Woke up and took my pills (predisone needs to be taken with food) and became nauseated after eating a piece of toast. Took an anti-nausea pill then Jim and I headed to CDA to the cancer center for my Neulasta shot. The anti-nausea pill seemed to help and a nap when I got home felt great. Got up feeling much better and was able to eat.
Sorry I didn't post this earlier, but was recuperating from the chemo.
Love to all
