I feel pretty yucky. But at least I am at home. This cycle was done at the hospital, but on an out-patient basis. I had to be there at 7:45 AM. I had been told that I'd probably be there all day, but I was finished by about 1:30 PM. Ron and Josh came to pick me up, since I had some meds that made me really spacey and sleepy, so I couldn't drive. I didn't have a reaction to the Rituxin this time; thank you, Lord! Ron took the car and went to Mom's for me, and Josh drove me home where I crashed for most of the afternoon.At the hospital, I was in a little treatment room where there were about 5 or 6 very comfortable recliner-type chairs. There were two other women in there with me, and a nurse stayed with us the whole time. It was pleasant to be able to chat with them now and then. One lady was crocheting a pretty pink baby blanket for her friend's baby due in October. Everyone was so nice.
Kelly brought me some lunch at noon, but she couldn't stay because of the toxic chemicals being administered in there. And they are paranoid about germs, which is a good thing. :o)
Johnnie, I took my prayer blanket with me. The nurse also gave us big blankets that had been heated. Oh my, they felt wonderful!
Hoping that I'll feel better tomorrow. Prayers appreciated! Thank you. :o)

Hello sweet sister,
I love you! I will continue to pray that all of the medication you are getting will work to make you well. You're doing great!
Big Hugs, Sandi
Cyber death rays still coming your way (oh - and prayers, too ;-)
Thank you, Sandi! I know I can always count on your love, support and prayers. You are a treasure! Love you.
Adrienne, those cyber death rays seem to be working. (Or maybe it's the prayers). :o) Hugs!
Are you taking Zofran? Just curious. It's a miracle drug for me when I am pregnant, and I think of all those chemo patients when I am taking it myself....
Linda, yes, Zofran is a miracle drug! They have given me a couple of other anti-nausea drugs, but they don't work nearly as well as Zofran. I told them right away that I wanted it. I didn't need it as much with the second cycle of chemo (different drugs), but I do need it with the "odd" cycles. The drugs they give me on those cycles do make me nauseous, so I'm taking it this time.
Prayers here for you.
Thank you, Jennifer! I know I can count on your prayers, and I really appreciate them.
You have my continued prayers, sweet sweet friend. I pray that the meds only do what they are supposed to and that you heal and recover quickly.
Thank you, Sarah! I am really needing your prayers right now.
