Well, my appointment with my oncologist was supposed to be at 9am, but the new computer system they starts using this morning caused major backups at the check-in desk. Not a big deal since everyone was running behind. Apparently it is hospital wide, and every department is dealing with a system that was not ready to use. happens everywhere and every time, right?<\/p>\n
When I finally got in and talked with her, the good news is my heart is badass, and can handle the chemo I am getting. The mass we can feel hasn’t grown int he last 2 weeks- also good. Still waiting on my BRACA and the results from the MRI biopsy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My chemo appt. was at 1030, but they just had me start since everything was so backed up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My port is still sore from the insertion. The first stick did not work. The second stick did not work. 3rd time was the charm, but there were more tears than I care to admit. That hurt like a bitch!<\/p>\n
They did a saline bag, to flush it all, then I waited, and waited, and waited. That darn new computer system backed up all of the meds mixing (since they do it on the spot for each patient, each time.) \u00a0An hour and a half later, they started my anti nausea meds, the steroids, and then finally the actual chemo. So far so good. I am still hungry, even though John went and got a muffin for me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The treatment itself was not terrible. I do feel a bit tired, and very metallic. Like the Tin Man that needs oiled or a robot in service too long. My bones are just like “Hey! wtf man?” and there is a slight metallic taste in my mouth. My joints are a little stiff too. I also have to drink a minimum of 2 quarts of water every day for the next 16 weeks. I usually get close to that and drink a ton of coffee, but it is one of those things- as soon as you are told you have to do something- it seems huge! Silly how the mind works.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since I was still hungry, we went to Casa Garcia and I got migas. Maybe not the smartest choice considering, but I was feeling brave \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0then we grabbed my prescriptions and I came home and took a short nap.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shayne came to visit around six and we gossiped and such for about 3 hours. That as a lot of fun, and was just so nice. We don’t see each other often enough, and I really enjoyed it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
now, It is about 1020, and I am feeling the nausea a bit more even after taking a pill. It may be all the water on top of everything else. I know I have one more liter to finish before I try to sleep, so I am going o head to bed to read a bit and relax. Hopefully Norbert will have gotten the hint\/hang of the dog door and I won’t find any surprises. Really tired of his surprises.\u00a0<\/p>\n
