Chemo 5

Blood chemistry shows that my Hemoglobin count, RBC and WBC are still going down but thanks God it is still within the allowed limit for me to continue my Chemo. Unlike in 5 years ago where i had to have an injection and wait a few days for my WBC to go up. So far no need! Hopefully I still make it on time for my last comes July 20.

On my admission date, the veins on my hands are hiding and the nurse did not want to do the IV insert and called the Anesthesiologist. She used a gauge 24 abbocath needle (small) also found it difficult and had to do 3 inserts before being successful, she said she wanted to be 110% sure. And the IV drip for the hydration and pre-meds went well. however, the next day, when my main  chemo medicine (PACLITAXEL) was already placed, thed rip was so slow and would not make it to the 3 hour time frame so this time my main ob-onco doctor who was doing the rounds had to to the insert. He also found it hard but was able to find a good insert on the 3rd try. My cousin who was praying was so happy it finally was successful. So we had toi extend stay for a 2 1/2 more hours before we were finally discharged.

So fifth is finished, anticipating my sixth and last chemo cycle.

Praying that the tumors especially on the lungs are all gone and never going to return!

Chemo 4

My blood results were still okay so I had my fourth chemo today after being admitted yesterday for some preliminary medications. It went fine once again!
