Had my first chemo yesterday.
Got benadryl, metamucil, an anti-nausea med and decadron (steroid) in the first bag to counteract the side effects of the other two bags.
Got paclitaxel in one bag and carboplatin in the other bag.
Got low doses, so side effects are small. Not like last time.
Today I feel Ok. a little emotional, tired, a little weak, but I'm getting up from here soon and gonna get cleaned up and move to the living room to watch a movie.
No pain, no nausea, just tired.
These drugs at these doses will weaken the cancer so the radiation can kill it. I've got 7 more weeks of treatment, (I think). Then surgery is planned.

ReplyDeleteHi there fellow Mom in Law!
ReplyDeleteI'm using the little notebook that you gave Steph. I just told Dick that I want one for my birthday.
I'm so sorry that you are having to go through both chemo and rad at the same time. It sounds as though you have a good medical team, which is such a blessing!
