Gosh, has it been 10 days? Had a bit of tougher time this round, it took about 9 days to feel right again and then I launched in to making sure school and food was taken care of. I didn't feel terrible, just not well and not very energetic or enthusiastic. Or motivated. And sometimes not pleasant ; )
I had round 4 today which will include the last round of the injections needed from my husband : ). The next 4 rounds of chemo will be spaced 3 wks apart, supposedly allowing my white blood cells to catch up without the help of a very expensive shot.
I feel ok right now, the anti-nausea meds make me dizzy and tired, but overall I'm ok. My next chemo session is in 2 weeks before which I need to get a MUGA test to measure the output of my heart (I think). I'm too chicken to see what that involves yet, so I can't share. They mentioned "injection". Then I go for 2 consecutive days to get the treatments. It involves 2 different drugs so they want to make sure I don't have an allergic reaction to either one before they administer them concurrently the next time around. These are supposed to be a little easier on the body. Yey.
Stayed tuned. I'm planning my next post to be an "Ode to my Wig", hopefully with pictures...
