Well Yesterday was a long day, but went pretty well.....I took 5 4mg tabs of Dexamethasone the night before, and 5 yesterday morning....I expected to be up all night, but slept like a baby...maybe just too worn out to let the Dex overide me. I spent 11 hours yesterday between the travel and the infusions....both seem to go well, they gave me Pepcid IV, Benedryl 50mg IV....(WHOA, now I'm tired) then started the Taxol (weekly x3) . When the taxol was done, time for the bathroom trip, so before I was hooked up to the Avastin, I made a dash...my luck, the IV tubing plugged and had to be restarted. Oh well, the Avastin IV (every other week) went well, another 1 1/2 hours then finally sent home with compazine for nausea. I slept most of the way hone, had some fruit and a light dinner at 5pm and then just layed around....that Benedryl knocked me for a loop. I never had any nausea, and today just feel kind of whacked out like I slept too much. My local Relay for Life is tonight, and I've always been a big part of it...don't know if I'll go or not. Tomorrow my Grandaughter gets baptised..thats a must. Thank you all for all the love caring and support...it means the world to me....
1 down...???? to go!
