Quick Update:
I finished my 5th to last chemo on Monday evening, meaning I only have 4 more treatments left! (5 weeks total). Normally when getting Methotrexate which I received on Monday, I am here for 60 hours post-chemo for fluids to flush it from my system, and I am usually out of here Thursday mornings. Well, even with increasing my fluids, adding another medicine to "pull out the Methotrexate" my levels are still in the clear to go home. I am super bummed and bored, but hey that's life!
They will draw labs again at 6 am, which *fingers crossed* will finally get me out of here early morning. I would so much rather be relaxing at home, but I know I can't leave yet. I'm guessing it's taking longer to recover from chemo now just because I've had so many doses my body is tired of clearing it and my bone marrow is slow to regenerate.
Dad is coming down with my favorite Mexican, Don Tequila, for dinner. Chill night here up in M50...Hopefully I get out tomorrow so I can have at least the weekend to relax before I come back in Monday for the same routine.
xoxo to all,
Em
