I've Got One Hand In My Pocket, And The Other One's Taking Chemo...

So I'm sitting in a hospital bed getting ready for some Chemo... it's a pretty strange and very surreal feeling, but anyway the hourly live updates probably won't be happening because I'll be receiving high dose Benadryl in about a minute here and it will most likely knock me out. Just to give a couple of updates.... I originally thought that I'd be getting treatment every 3 weeks, but my spleen decided to go ahead and be extra Cancery so I'm going to have to get treatment every two weeks. Also, some heart tests they did on me came back with a possible problem. I may not have enough blood being pumped out of my heart, so I have to have more tests to see if that's something to be concerned with or not. There's a thought that it could just be due to an inaccurate test machine. I thought that maybe a piece of sausage was stuck in a valve, but no luck. So, as for Chemo... you don't actually get called in to receive it for at least an hour after your appointment time. After that you get an IV with saline, two anti-nausea drips, you take 2 Tylenol, 1 Anti-Nausea pill, and a bag of Benadryl. The first 3 types of Chemo will take a total of 45 minutes, the last drug, Rituxin, will take about 6 hours. Outside of of hearing I might have a heart problem, I was most surprised at how many pills I'll have to take each day. AND I've never been in a place where they care about constipation so much. Everyone here keeps saying that I need to "move my bowels" everyday. The last drug will be Predisone which is a steroid and I'll be getting a very very high dose of it, there's usually a feeling to Euphoria associated with it... can't wait for that. One of the drugs I'll have to take after treatment is a needle of Neulasta to help my blood cell count, and I may have to administer it myself. I'll film that if I do. I'll write more in the next couple of days, I'm pretty tired from the Benadryl. Thanks everyone for the well wishes, they mean the world.
