Almost done.
The pre-meds are the worst for me. The anti-nausea and the steroid (dex)… the 15min infusion isnt too bad, and the take home pack is fine.. I still get indigestion but its survivable.. I need distraction, food etc for the pre-meds… and Im pretty sure once I finish the stem cells, I wont need them again.. YAY
Bit of a worry really that Im looking forward to that rather than the chemo – I swear, Id run a mile further if someone came to me telling me they had to give me Dex, rather than than chemo!
Last night tonight for the pack.. only one dose, so tomorrow I head in and wont be woken up with chemo pumping in, which should be a nice change… nothing like chemo in the morning!
Tomorrow is short infusion again (30mins), but its preceded by sucking ice, and then during and then after to reduce ulcers in mouth. Fingers crossed that since Ive been ok with ulcers etc so far, it should be ok.
I feel lucky that Ive had a fairly ok time of it all. Put it down to being fairly fit and young anyway, despite all this shit. Its funny… Im healthy, yet I have chemo – Im sure I get strange looks when I talk about it like that.
Going ok – had to wear a beanie last night to bed to ensure I didnt get a cold head… I sleep with the fan on cos I like air movement, but I was getting a bit cold… soft pink wool – sexy!
