Success 16 September 2009
.
The surgically implanted power port worked well during blood sampling and IV infusion this month. Both were painless. However, contrary to what one would expect, the IV took the same length of time as before. The round trip from home and back is about seven hours.
This chemotherapy continues to have a much greater impact on Michele than the Temodar treatments earlier this year. Michele is pretty much wiped out all day on Saturdays and spends most of that day in bed. The treatment seems to take a day to kick in and kick butt.
This week’s treatment side effect was a potassium deficiency--easily corrected with five inexpensive and easy to take pills.
Michele is feeling better early in the week. On Tuesday, she was feeling well enough to attend a very enjoyable dinner meeting at the Headliner’s Club. It was the first major social event we have been to in months.
Hopefully, things will be pretty routine for the rest of the month.
