My second session of chemo. went fine for the most part this week, except for all the waiting. Thursday I arrived at the hospital at 11:30 am for my 24 infusion of chemo. & ended up waiting 3 hours before they finally hooked me up. It was very frustrating. Friday morning they woke me up at 5:00 am to take a sample of my blood. I’m not sure what exactly happened, but they opened or bumped something & blood was pouring out all over my shirt. They got blood on my shirt last time I was there too. I guess I’ll wear their hospital gown next time. =) Friday I waited an hour to get started on the 1 hour chemo. I tried to nicely be persistent, but didn’t get out of there till 5:30 pm. I slept quite a bit this weekend.
I feel okay for the most part, just a little gaggy feeling off & on. I started the neupogen shots again (to produce the white blood cells). This time I’m taking 2 shots a day & 4 total between the Lovenox (blood thinner). I’m still getting conflicting stories on when the harvesting of the stem cell will take place. I’m told we’ll be in Seattle 1-2 weeks & I’m also told the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance will be harvesting them this week. We’ll just have to take it day by day, as I’ve heard things can change often.
