Quick update
Hello all! Sorry I haven't posted in a little bit, things have been pleasantly uneventful so far. I had chemo again last week, Mon-Wed, and my neulasta shot on Thurs. Started with the nausea/vomiting on Thursday evening into Friday, but the vomiting was gone this time by mid afternoon. Once again I was in hermit mode, relying on Chad to do most of the baby duties on Friday. Saturday I was still nauseous and slept quite a bit, but by Sunday I felt ok and was able to go to my parents house for dinner. I'm still doing my blood thinner injections twice a day, and unfortunately I was told that I will most likely be doing them until 6 weeks after my picc line comes out, whenever that may be. Due to the hit that my platelets took after the first week of chemo, I'm now heading to Corning twice a week for blood work to keep an eye on my levels. I'm also hoping to avoid the neutropenic fever this time around, along with the sore throat/nausea and vomiting party I had while I was in the hospital for Christmas. But unfortunately, it's out of my control. This coming Friday I have my next PET scan to see how things look. If everything is negative, then I will be done with chemo until I'm admitted to Roswell. If it's still positive, then I'll have another round of chemo done at RPH. Here's to hoping I'm all clear! My next consult at Roswell is 1 week from today... since I'll have had my scan, hopefully I'll find out some more details as to when we are going to be getting things rolling.
