Wednesday 12/24
Despite having a needle inserted in my arm to allow extraction of enough blood to make room for saline, chemo, and steroid infusions, my posterior suffers most during the weekly regimen. I can stand a bit, but getting unhooked is the highlight of my day - getting out of the less than comfortable chair.
Thursday 12/25
Awakened early as usual with a slight steroid "up" heading into an enjoyable, napless, Christmas day. If memory serves, all 14 g/children, their parents, a husband, 3 significant others (2 missing because of conflicts) and 3 locales - should add to 29. Truly enjoyable to see all having a good time.
By 8 p.m. I was crashing. Made my way upstairs to the quiet floor, and had the longest uninterrupted sleep of recent times, maybe of ever - more than 6 hours.
Today 12/26
Notwithstanding the sleep, up and exhausted. Out and about for a couple of hours, back for lunch, brief nap, now this, and likely to have another nap.
On Monday I will drop off some blood for testing, and next Wednesday will see Dr. Abonour to hear the results, and to learn the next step in the treatment. I anticipate another three week regimen.
As ever, no difficult side effects other than fatigue and feet discomfort, and those have Mary Ann making certain I don't overdo which means I get pampered. Incidentally, she put on a great party here yesterday.
Late next week I will be back with the next steps.
