chemo #2

today @ work - a little tamer do 4 today ;0)

yesterday was my 2nd chemo treatment - time wise, it took just as long 4 the treatment...but since we didn't have 2 wait quite as long 2 get a chair - we were outta there by 2pm...still all day, but better

the doc said my white blood cells were even lower this time...& that if they continue this way, i'll probably have 2 get the booster before my next treatment...i'll continue 2 get my levels checked every monday

she also was not happy 2 hear that i was vomiting at all...i just assumed being sick came with the whole package deal of chemo, but she wanted 2 try something else 2 avoid getting sick all together...i only left with the dexamethasone steroid prescription 4 nausea this time (in addition 2 the prochlorperazine that i always have 2 take as needed)...but instead of sending me home with the ondansetron too, they administered an IV nausea med that's supposed to work for 30 days! i can't remember the name of it (i'll make sure 2 ask next time) - it's not a new med, but a new one 2 my hospital

last night, i felt a lot more tired & weak than last time...but i didn't get ill...instead my stomach was in knots - just crampy & sucky...this morning, i woke up with massive heartburn, but still didn't get sick...i'm at work, so that counts 4 something! still feeling wiped out & the zantac i took 4 heartburn, only really took the edge off...but i'm feeling ok overall
