Happy New Year!
Well, it looks as if I have finally crawled out from under my dark cloud. I was starting to irritate myself!
Chemo number 78 last Monday (the 28th)...#72 on the Alimta. Wild. I was feeling a little (ok, a lot) frustrated that I had done so many chemo treatments and the damn stuff was not going away. I realize how lucky I am that it has stayed stable. So, bring it on!
Stomach is still a bit funky, but I am feeling on the upswing. Even with acupuncture, it is taking 10 days to get to feeling good.
Next round is on the 20th. Going back to Wednesdays. Hoping that lets me have the worst days on the weekend.
A new addition to treatment. I have to now self-inject my B-12 shots. Insurance will not allow the nurses to do it. Yikes. That was wild to do...I will have to have them show me again for the next round. Only have to do B-12 every 9 weeks. It and daily folic acid and the (I HATE DECADRON!") decadron are part of the Alimta protocol. Decreases the toxicity.
Well, look at me....babbble babble babble!
Stay warm-wind chill is 22 below right now!!
hugs,
chris

Chris, I am thinking of you. You have managed to stay positive. How I don't know; but stay on the sunny side.
