Thursday 17 December 2009 Cycle Eight, Day Twenty-two, Treatment Three

Well another cycle complete. I don't have any more chemo appointments this year----YEAH!!! can't help it if there are only two weeks left in the year.

It's been another boring week in the **cure** here. nothing much happening. the Oregon rains have returned so that means that the weather has warmed up again. Appointment was on time, the nurse got the IV started first try and I didn't even hardly feel it go in. Everything went like clock work, I was in and out in record time it seems.

Thursday 10 December 2009 Cycle Eight, Day Fifteen, Treatment Two

Well it was a very boring week. I did see the ophthalmologists this week and she said that there is nothing physically wrong with my eyes---she agrees with the optometrist that it's most likely my Chemotherapy drugs that are causing my problem and that should clear up once I'm off those drugs. So I can HOPE for that.

my appointment was only a little late getting started and then the meds were late being given sooooo it' goes in the life of MY Chemo treatments

The weather is cold but I like it----no one else does at least it's dry (at the moment), clear, with a little bit of wind.

Thursday 03 December 2009 Cycle Eight, Day One, Treatment One

Well another interesting day trying to visit the DR. I knew with a noon appointment that he was automatically going to be running late---just a given, unless you are one of the first appointments of the day or right after lunch that your appointment time is going to be later than originally scheduled for. But my appointment was an hour and half late----so I asked the DR what was for lunch----he's quick on his feet---told me Chemotherapy DANG!!!! So being an hour and half late for the Dr put me about two hours late for Chemo treatment today.. then the scheduler is out sick, so I wasn't given any follow-up appointments. they called me today (Friday) with my follow-up appointments for the rest of this cycle.

After seeing me today he's ordered my routine CT scan to be done at the end of the month and also gave me a referral to the ophthalmologists to see if we can figure out what's going on with my eye sight. the Optometrists says that my vision is OK, my prescription hasn't changed so we'll see.

other than that not much happening here.
