2nd Chemo Infusion


Okie Dokie, this is a picture of me today at the University of Maryland Chemo Therapy Infusion Center where we spent over 8 hours and where they administered a full dose of Chemo and if that isnt enough they installed a Chemo Pump again that will pump Chemo into me 24 hours for the next 5 days. The side effects to expect are vomitting and extreme fatigue, worse than last time Im told.
Right now I feel okay just a bit tired and I have a razor blade feeling in my throat when I swallow, but am also told that these are very normal side effects for the level of treatment that i am on.
My blood pressure is okay, my wieght is down to 150lbs from 154 lbs and my white Platelets are very low, they will take blood on Thursday and if my Platelets are still low I will need to get a Transfusion on Friday.
