Off We Go Again!!
I have started what I call "Round 2" of treatment. On Tuesday I had my first chemo treatment of the new drug and on Wednesday I had my first radiation treatment. Tuesday was a long day, they have to run the chemo very slowly the first time to make sure you do not have a reaction to the drug or its mixture so that took 4 hours. From chemo we went directly to the radiation doctor so they could check their markings and calculations to be ready for Wednesday's treatment. On the bright side of things I did not have a reaction to the chemo and I did not get sick from it either. It was pretty non eventful (that's not a bad thing either). So from now until October 20th or so, I will go everyday @ 3:20pm for my radiation and next Tuesday my chemo should only take 2 1/2 hrs instead of the 4 hrs, since I didn't have a reaction to the initial one. To say the least these last 12 weeks will be very time consuming, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am thankful to be feeling well and to be on the down hill side of this thing!!
