Chemo #7 was administered today. I still have the remains of the cold and am still being treated for the superinfection, so I don't know if that may have had some affects on why things went differently today. I'm doing ok so far, but the steriods have already worn off and the benadryl didn't knock me out like it normally does. My feet, hands and stomach are swelling up and I have a sore throat. My hot flashes are going nuts. My blood pressure is on the rise again. Last take (6:30 tonight) 167/104, pulse 100.
I guess all I can do is keep an eye on things. I am hoping to get through this one with absolute minimum, perferably none.....pain and sickness.
Only one more to go! I can hardly wait. I sure hope these two weeks actually go quickly!
I have fuzz on my head again.......might even have some hair again sometime first quarter of next year! Oh, how I am looking forward to it!

Fuzz? How exciting! I wonder if your hair will be the same color and texture as before? Lots of people have curly hair when it grows back in.
Glad you're making it!
Stay strong... or at least not too weak! Hope you kick that virus soon. I know exactly what you mean about wanting the next two weeks to go fast to the next chemo. I feel the same way! Can't wait for the 21st, my last chemo. Then I can start to really build back my strength and maybe by Christmas I'll feel like my old self again. My husband says I'm like a kid. Everyone I see I say, "My next chemo is my last!" Can't help being happy about that! Here's to hoping we have no more setbacks and it all goes easily for the last one!
