Hello!
I am in Philly today for my 4th round of chemo. This is the final infusion before I get scanned and the doctors decide if I continue with this trial. All of my treatments have gone very smoothly so far! I have been very lucky because I have not really had any side effects from this drug. I feel like I should have the side effects all of us typically associate with chemo but my doctor keeps telling me, "you don't have to get sick to get better."
Dad came with me for my first treatment, my friend Jackie joined me for number two, Billy came with me for number 3, and I am flying solo for number 4. I flew up this morning and I go home tonight. My trips up here are very quick. I get off the plane in Philly, hop on the train to center city, walk two blocks to the hospital, get my infusion and head back to the airport.
They just took my weight and ordered the drug. I am waiting for a chair to open up now. I hope that I get placed next to my favorite patient...an older gentleman who brings a bucket of KFC with him to his infusion!
