No Reaction!

I had another treatment this morning, and all went well. My oncologist felt that my body didn't like the instant influx of Benadryl into my port, so he cut my dose of Benadryl in half and administered it orally so my body would absorb it more slowly. I still felt a slight tightness in my chest about 20 minutes after I took the Benadryl. It passed in about 20 minutes, and all went smoothly after that. My oncologist decided since all went well we can do the next three doses at our local hospital. This makes things a lot easier for us... a whole lot less travel and scheduling to do. Phew!

I'm still having a little trouble sleeping... my oncologist talked about cutting my steroid dose in half, but I'm not sure that actually got passed on to the pharmacy today, so we'll see how tonight goes.

We are celebrating my son's three year birthday tomorrow and my niece's 10 year birthday at my in-laws, so it should be a fun weekend. One of the bonuses of going to GF for treatment is family lives in the area, so we get to spend more time with family. Hmmmm.... family in GF and family in Rochester.... do you think God has provided for such a time as this? I know he has!

Ten treatments down, six treatments to go!
