Well the antinausea med that worked for 48 hours wore off, and with that- came the upset stomach. So we did not get by this time totally unscathed. Bridget has Compazine to take to help out with the upset stomach. She was trying to be strong and not take it, but I convinced her to take it this morning so that she can get a handle on the upset.
She had read that sometimes with the first chemo dose there is not a reaction, it has to "build up" in one's system. I think she was thinking she was going to go that route.
Yesterday, she got the White Blood cell booster shot. That will cause some bone pain as the shot stimulates cell production.
And of course, Social Security call did not happen. I called them after waiting a half an hour. They gave me the excuse that my phone number was disconnected and the letter returned. What did happen was that they were unable to follow clear instructions to call my cell number as long distance. They did not and did not try again. I left a voice mail message asking the manager of the Butte office to call me back- she did not. So I will call her daily until she does. That is one reason why government is the way it is. Inefficient and inability to follow instructions.
Anyway, I am at work today. Checking on Bridget by phone frequently.

Hope Bridget is feeling all better now. How often does she have to have chemo and for how many treatments? Also hope you were able to get some much needed rest this weekend!
ReplyDeleteChemo is every other weekend for four times, then a PET scan to check on progress. Doc said anywhere from 6-9 months of treatment. SO we are just getting started.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was able to get some much needed rest!! Yay for weekends. I also got more boxes unpacked and things put away or sorted.
It will all come together eventually.
Thanks!!
