Well, I wasn't expecting to write about this complication from my first Avastin infusion.
I had my first tx on Wed., and by Thursday morning I knew something was different.
Numbness and tingling in my right hand and lip.
Now, after a trip to the emerg to rule out bleeding, which they did..thank goodness, I have full neuropathy on the right side. I'm not sure what all of this means. I'd like to think that the avastin is already working and my brain necrosis is shrinking and some nerves just got in the way. I don't know.
I'm up to 16mg of dex over the weekend to see how it goes, so far it's still the same.
Hard to take care of a 2 and 4 year old, that's a bummer.....big time.
I just hope that some sort of sensation will return.
I thought the loss of right sided vision was enough to deal with, now this. Trying really hard to think that the Avastin is working, and I'm just going to have to deal with all of this in time.
There wasn't any surgery for me, so risky, too deep.
Trying to stay hopefully and optimistic over here.
I wanted this to be so smooth, but it seems that there is always a hurdle in this crappy cancer process.
Soooo....the good news. I'm alive and get to laugh with my kiddies everyday!!!
Thanks for listening, and supporting always my friends.
And of course Denise, thank you for your time and support. I'm thinking of you in Hawaii right now!!! It's going to be an awesome trip!
