Chemo #2

Gabby came at 7:30 this morning.

This morning we got to Texas Oncology around 8:30am. Morry dropped me off and went to pick up breakfast for him and movie for me. When he got back I was in an exam room. They were taking my vitas and doing a blood test. Everything came back normal, so I was able to have the chemo today.

By the time I was set up in the treatment room and they started the medicines (steroids, anti nausea, chemo) it was about 10am. This time it went a lot faster. They didn’t have to go as slowly since they knew I wasn’t allergic to any of the drugs. We had planned on having Morry run out and get lunch. Around 12 they said I only had an hour left so we waited to go to lunch after. The chemo finished at 1pm. I need to go back tomorrow at 1pm to get the Nuelasta shot. The doctor said this should help the sores in my mouth. She thinks I got them because my white blood count was so low last time. She also prescribed more medication to help with the nausea.

For lunch Morry and I went to Triumph Café (Vietnamese). It was good. We were both pretty hungry.

When we got home Noah was in bed and Blanca was getting Evan ready for a nap. I took a nap too. I wasn’t feeling bad, but I was really tired from all the medication they had given me.

For dinner, one of the moms brought dinner for us. We had chicken soup.

After dinner we all went over to HEB. I needed to pick up some medicine and a mouth guard. I’ve been grinding my teeth at night and the dentist recommended I pick up one of those to use temporarily.

We put the boys to bed, but Evan is still up stalling.
