8:40am
Yesterday was a chaotic day at the hospital. I was originally on Floor 6, but then yesterday i got moved to Floor 5; to my own personal room :) It has the view on the Riviera and i can see the mission! So im on my 4th 24 hr bag of chemo. After this i have one more bag, but thats a short one that runs for an hour. I should be done with my current bag around 5pm today, the last around 630.
A side effect i did encounter was a blood clot about the picc line but the doctors have something for that, always.
They have MEDS for everything!
anti-nausea
antibiotics
anti diarehha
my low potassium
anti constipation
acid reflux
my blood clots
Just like anything i was feeling or experiencing they would fix with a little pill or a shot. im the type of girl who is mostly gunna suck it up and hope it goes away within time. But with the fact that its cancer and its kind of a big deal, I didn't mind complaining if this bothered or pointing out something unfamiliar.
Goals with Round 1 of Chemo:
>Decrease Lump size......CHECK
>Reduce Fever Temp....CHECK
>Decrease Resting HR from 100 to75bpm..... IN progress (90bpm)
>Get rid of this Cough....... still when im shortness of breath... working on it!
