Hi Team,Today was my first chemo infusion - had a great nurse who administered it at Kaiser - Diane, gave me and my posee (Anthony, Mom, Monika) lots of information on possible side effects and the wonders of modern day anti-nausea medications. I got all the good stuff and plan to take it all as perscribed so I can hopefully avoid any of the nausea.
First was an IV of benadryl, just in case of allergic reaction - this one made me kind of tired and woozy feeling, not too bad though. Next was about an hour and half of herceptin, then 45 minutes of taxotere (aka docetaxel), then another half hour of carboplatin. A quick flush of the vein with saline water and we were done! No major immediate side effects of any of that, mostly just wooziness from the benadryl, and at the end for some reason the saline really stung as it was going in, but for the most part pretty smooth.
Am definitely feeling a little tired right now, going to try to hold out for a little while longer then get a nice full night of sleep. Still have one more day of steroids, and starting tonight zofran every 12 hours to avoid nausea. The lovely pharmacists in the oncology lab (that must be a fun job, lots of chemicals to mix there!) also gave me compazine and ativan for use against any breakthrough nausea (meaning if it breaks through the zofran). They said the ativan is a sleep aid and anti-nausea all in one, similar to a valium w/ nausea meds. Great stuff! Hopefully I won't need too much of it, but we'll see - so far so good, but just the first few hours, I'm sure this stuff will take a while to soak in.
Off to bed early tonight!
Love,
Amy

ReplyDeleteIt was during my research on HIV/Herpes that I stumbled upon the Hiv/Herpes information; information which is quite easy to find when doing a search for STD on google. I was into conspiracy at the time thought of HIV/Herpes Cured' being a conspiracy was something Ignorance though,I found pretty interesting about herbal medicine. I asked questions about the Herbal cure's on official HIV/Herpes websites and I was banned for doing so by moderators who told me that I was parroting Hiv/Herpes propaganda. This reinforced my belief that there is a cure for Hiv/Herpes Then i found a lady from germany name Achima Abelard Dr Itua Cure her Hiv so I send him a mail about my situation then talk more about it and send me his herbal medicine I drank for two weeks.And today I'm Cured no Hiv/Herpes in my life,I searched for Hiv/Herpes groups to attempt to make contact with people in order to learn more about Hiv/Herpes Herbal Cure's I believed at this time that you with the same disease this information is helpful to you and I wanted to do the best I could to spread this information in the hopes of helping other people.That Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's,Alzheimer’s disease,Bechet’s disease,Crohn’s disease
