2nd Chemo

Oh what fun. I need to back up just a few days or more. My last post I was telling you that I had a total of 8 infusions. Well the good news is I have a total of 4 infusions. So after today I only have 2 more. May 10th will be my last one. If all things go well. Fingers crossed. At my Chemo infusion today everything went pretty well. The D in my ABVD burned again, so they do what they call a side car or cart and dilute it so it relieves the burn. It makes it feel much better. My sweet husband went with me and behaved pretty well. I only punched him a dozen or so times. He thinks he's funny and sometimes he is. =) He was very sweet today and bought me a pretty pink pearl necklace. I can't wait to wear it. (I'm currently putting vitamin e on my war wound)

Before I have my infusions they do labs and check my blood count. I forgot to make sure I was hydrated and for the first time in my life I had to be poked twice. Ouch! It wasn't fun and I'll never do that again. They almost didn't do chemo. I'm not a Dr so I don't know exactly what it means, but my white blood count was 8.43 on March 22 and today it was 1.79. For some reason or another they just went ahead and did it. Thank goodness, I want to finish this wild ride.

Yesterday I met with the Radiology Oncologist. That was just a informative visit. They told me that they will zap both parts. One on my neck and one in the chest area. They will zap me in the front and from behind. They will also be making a little mesh mask at our next appointment. It helps me keep my head in place. I'll get to bring it home so I'll post a pick when I can. It's very weird looking. It kind of reminded me of something from a super hero movie. So as for now that is where I am. Thanks again for all the love and support. Thank you for all the service and food. Love ya!
