Done with round two of chemotherapy. It only took 6 hours. There were no surprises, and no allergic reactions like the first time. I ate, I drank, I slept a little (Benadryl nod) and now I feel just a little groggy. They have managed the side effects very well.
Good news: Doctor reviewed today’s blood test and my numbers are better than ever. Red and white blood cell counts are up! My immune system is intact and working. Therefore, no need for the mask…after five days. During that time I’ll be on a steroid that instructs “avoid people with contagious diseases.”
I got shot by a robot. The last thing they did to me was install a “single shot, on-body injector” on the back of my arm. It’s 2″ x 2″ plastic box stuck on with tape. It lit up, beeped a few times and SNAP, this little needle stabbed me and will remain there for 28 hours, when it slowly releasing medicine tomorrow. This goop is designed to elevate the white blood cell count to prevent infections. It is made from an extract of e-coli!?
Speaking of head-scratching information: My new anti-nausea medication says “It is used to treat anxiety…upset stomach and throwing up..(and) to treat schizophrenia. It may be given to you for other reasons.” Like what, fleas, knobby knees and hiccups in threes? Who said that?
