1st treatment
Just thought I would update everyone. I had my first tx,(treatment), yesterday and all went well. So well that I actually fell asleep during the last 30min of it, can you believe that? I picked up my prescriptions on Tuesday and Wednesday, they had to order one, Emend which by the way, I was blown away by the cost of that drug....for 3 capslules ,antinausea meds.....it was $422.50! Thank goodness for excellent insurance, as my cost was only $50. Anyone else have that drug. My treatment was at 1pm and we arrived home at about 5pm. I was tired and not much of an appetite. I took two meds at about 7, ativan and compazine and was asleep before 8pm, missed the show So You Think You Can Dance! I'm such a sucker for mindless entertainment! At least we can record things these days. I had a Muga first thing yesterday and was at 61% and then I went to my surgeon for a post op check up and all was fine. So I had a full day. My oncologist doesn't repeat the Muga until the end of tx, I am having 4, unless I present with symptoms. Is this the norm?
