Dehydration Monday
Michele had an uncomfortable weekend after Friday’s first chemotherapy treatment with Carboplatin.
She experienced gastrointestinal toxicity--vomiting and nausea--which is common (65% occurrence) for Carboplatin.
She was also in bed from Friday afternoon until Monday morning, when we went back to the doctor’s office for an unscheduled office visit and a rehydration infusion. We also got some meds to combat the side effects.
Carboplatin is pretty powerful stuff. It is no wonder that it is only administered once every four weeks. The doc says that the worst is over and that Michele should be feeling better every day, but he still wants to see her again on Friday.
