Round 2 chemo day

Round 2 meds listed below: 10:30 am to 5:30pm

First 2 hours premeds. Sodium chloride with potassium and magnesium

Aloxi anti nausea  250mg w potassium

After that it's dexamethasone 10mg this the steroid for white cell boosting

Emend 150mg more anti naseau burned me in my iv bad

Metoclopramide hcl 10mg- reglan for anti nausea and migraine .

Cisplatin 140mg

More hydration
Magnesium 1000mg, potassium hcl 20m

Alimta 940mg

Spoke to doctor today, we are going to add a nausea patch I can wear for 7 days, and we added the Reglan to my plan today which seemed to help as I have no headache with the cisplatin today! Let's hope that continues!

Also filled out my intake form for the Alchemist study government trial.

Got vitamin D and bloodwork done today. My white cells were 21.6 and the fighter white cell were 20.1! Good stats!

Now the bloodwork watching begin, every Monday and Thursday each week since I am not doing the neulasta shot anymore it's more critical to watch my fighter white cells and keep them high so I don't get sick and monitor going in public.

I caught up on "parent magazines" that I was backlogged on.

And chit chatting with other chemo patients.
Time flies here , thank God!
Got more doc appts lined up. I feel they have consumed my life this year and it isn't going to stop anytime soon.

My eyes itching and watering and burning is another side effect. It's like hayfever from hell! I am going to the eye doc Thursday this week now to see if I can get a steroid eye drop to fix them for now.

But it has been a good day. I hope this round is nothing like last round! That's all.
