Thursday 21 January 2010 Cycle Nine, Day Seventeen, Treatment Three

Well today was back to normal----slow. So much for Thursdays being the good omen. Took only ONE nurse ONE try to get in, and it wasn’t too painful today. She did bring me a hot pack as soon as she hung the Chemo drug so that also helped the pain to subside right away.

No TV this week.. oh well I guess I can't have them all the time.

Thursday 14 January 2010 Cycle Nine, Day Ten, Treatment Two

Well today was almost a total shock to my/our systems. I was in and out in about 2 hours today. Yeah Team!!!! It must be the fact that I was back on Thursday . Took only ONE nurse ONE try to get in, and it wasn’t too painful today. She did bring me a hot pack as soon as she hung the Chemo drug so that also helped the pain to subside right away.

I got a chair with a TV again this week and figured out how to put the Close Captioning up so that I could *hear/read* it. I was nice and took it off again before I left. Not every chair has a TV it's like every other one or so. and the chairs are positioned so that you can't really "share" your TV with a neighbour.the Chairs that don't have TV's have windows to look out at----not much of a view though

Monday 04 January 2010 Cycle Nine, Day one, Treatment One

Today was another one of those LONG days at the clinic. The DR was about an hour and half late. However he had sort of good news. My blood counts were all fine, and my CT Scan was status quo. That means that major areas of concern and others, have not grown---nor have they shrunk any more --- they just hanging in there.

It took two nurses three tries to get an IV started on my today. My veins are getting tired of all this stuff. Can’t say as I blame them I’m getting tired of it also.
