June 7 - Chemo Update II
Hello all! It’s been a couple of weeks since the last post, but it’s that time again. The week of the 27, was pretty uneventful, however, Colleen was starting to feel a combo of trepidation and ready to get on with it. On Monday the 1st she went in for her infusion. Plus she returned with a little pump buddy.
Infusion buddy.
The first few days were ok and she definitely felt off. Unfortunately, after returning the pump, she really started feeling the effects of the chemo. So the remainder of the week she wasn’t feeling very good at all. While she didn’t have the super devastating nausea from the first round with the oral, she was definitely miserable. She had overlapping timing with different meds. Even at though at first the Marinol seemed to make her a little more chipper, but I’m not sure if we know which med is helping or not (after returning the pump). This week she gets a bit of a reprieve and we’ll see next week if her reaction will be less intense. Fingers crossed!
Today we had a nice trip to beach and walked around a bit, another indicator that’s she’s feeling better.
