Good very early morning everyone. Treatment 11 is now completed. Normally, I'd be in bed by now, but this treatment ran longer than normal so after a very refreshing shower, I'm wide awake, so I thought I post.
11 treatments are now complete and only 6 more remain. I gotta say how over all of this I am, but still, 6 left. Hard to believe how much I've already completed. Well, I am feeling fine, tired (but still wide awake) and a bit queasy (the car ride home after a treatment never really sits well, even with the anti-nausea meds I have), but overall ok. Tomorrow should be good to rest up and get ready to go back to work on Wednesday.
The only thing new with my treatments is that on my outpatient treatments, they are swapping one of the drugs called the "Red Devil" (Andreomycin) for a another one (can't remember how to spell it). This is because I have reached my LIFETIME limit of the drug. If I ever have a recurrence of the cancer (of any kind) and have to have it, I can't; ever. But that's ok. The new drug doesn't cause any kind of strain for my heart, so that's good.
The other new thing is that went I go in for my bloodwork next week, I will also be going in for a CT scan. They want to check the progress on everything and compare it to the one I had about 2 months ago. So hopefully the next time I go to see the Docs, I will see if there is more/better bone growth and maybe the tumor decided to stop be stubborn and start shrinking.
Anyways, that's about all from me here in Chemoland, so I hope you are all having pleasant dreams as I write this and that all of you are always in my thoughts.
Love you all,

Are you sure about that regarding the Lifetime limit? I think it should mean that once you reach the limit you are immune for life :)
ReplyDeleteStill - 2/3rds gone is great, I hope the next 6 go as fast. We are looking forward to the results of the next CT scan just as you are. Good Luck,
