Charmaine has been feeling quite well all week with little or no effects from the chemo except for today. The chemo drug today is called Doxorubicin. It is a 24hr drip. This one seems to always hit her harder than the others. Extreme fatigue and nausia. The meds for the nausia intensify the fatigue.
This has still been one of the easiest rounds of them all.
We are supposed to check out this evening around 7 or so after the chemo is finished at 5.
I'm not sure she needs to come home today unless she gets to feeling better. Sometimes if we leave too early we end up back at the ER that night. Will decide later today. To some extent they let us have a say in when we leave.
We will come back to clinic Monday at 830 am for lab work then back on Wednesday to see the Dr. Very good chance she will check back in next Wed for the 6 days of recovery from the chemo. That's when she gets the transfusions of blood and platelets all week long. After that we will be home 4 to 6 weeks then the transplant.
They have already got samples of the donors blood here and have started testing it ect. All still looks on track for mid to late August for transplant. We still don't know if she is getting a bone marrow transplant or a stem cell transplant. Will find out soon.
Have a safe and happy holiday weekend.
