The day at the hospital started at 8:30 am and we left at 5:00 pm.Two targeted Chemotherapies
Two general Chemotherapies
Steroids
Anti-nausea Meds
More Anti-nausea Meds
Lorazapam
Because the dosage of the meds is based on my weight, and
I’m a total lightweight, when it came time to step on the scales, I
stripped. Not like strip stripped -
c’mon, people. But I did take off the
coat, purse, vest, boots to get me as low as possible. Figure I dropped 3-4 pounds just with that.
THEN I told the same nurse who missed last time that we were
waiting to take the blood pressure until after the port was inserted –
correctly.
She said, “Oh, was it missed?” Pause.
“Did I miss it? It think I
remember missing it.”
Since it was so memorable for you….
Anyway. Went perfect,
tasted metal (only in the medical industry does “taste metal” mean success).
And now I’m ready for bed. Despite three naps. My parents came and I was all sorts of
entertaining (NOT) but that’s how chemo is.
A whole lotta nothing except a whole bunch of drugs/chemicals/poisons/cancer-killing
stuff being IV’d into my veins.
