TMI Friday

This week I am fighting to get to Day 14 of Cycle #2 of RVDD and I am willing to do whatever it takes. This week included bouts of nausea, lack of sleep and once again I started getting backed up. For the nausea I went with Zofran. For the lack of sleep I stuck with benadryl. For the constipation, I brought in the little guns:



Notice that Cassie unwittingly purchased "Child Size". I'd hate to see what the "Grown-Up Size" would do to me. Let's just say, they work.

To keep things short, everything seems to be moving in the right direction as we head to the cancer center this morning for day 11 of treatment which includes Velcade infusion #4.

The domination continues...

Velcade vs. Veggie Patty at Subway

The latest hiccup in chemo was today after I consumed either Velcade or a footlong Veggie Patty from Subway. For someone who doesn't ever struggle with nausea...ever, it was tough lying down with a mouth overflowing with bitter saliva and a fiery stomach that was utterly pissed off by either the Velcade or the Veggie Patty, my apologies on both Mr. Stomach, but at least get used to the friggin Velcade by now which was my six infusion in 4 weeks.


VERSUS


Cassie was great in confirming that I don't have the flu and making sure that I get a good nights rest. She sent me off to bed around 6:30pm with one Zofran to combat the nausea.
