Ahoy Crazy Peeps....
Just a quick update this time. 2nd treatment went reasonably well....I hedged my karma by ordering lunch sent over for the crew (I'm superstitious....a well-fed crew is a happy crew), and things went smoothly.
Thanks again, Lisa, for the car service on chemo days. It works out great! My driver was a guy this time...cute! Don't know how you arranged for that, but extra thanks!
My counts were good today, so no Epogen or Neupogen. Probably next week though. My doctor perscribed more Percocet for the Neupogen days, so I'm ready.
Nurse got my IV in on the 1st try....BONUS!!! And NO reaction this time to the Taxotere (docetaxel) this time around.....BONUS BONUS!!!!!!!
The Emend for the nausea is working well, but @ $350/3 pills (to be taken over the 1st 3 days of chemo) it's too expensive to take for the whole week.....so Zofran & ATIVAN.....yup, you heard it....ATIVAN for nausea in chemo patients. Hmmm....I'm really gonna have to ask him about how he feels about Marinol....????
Once chemo is over.....REHAB here I come!
Anyway, really tired today. Time for another nap....my 3rd since getting home....and I haven't touched any of the Ativan!
Keep up with those Booby exams and I'll see you when I'm upright.
Love to all,
Uncle Fester (yes....from the Addams Family....if you haven't seen my recent pictures, you won't get it.)
