Deletion of Anti-nausea Meds

Feeling almost human today! No anti-nausea meds and feelin' fine about that! Just the anti-viral and another called Allopurinol which is a class of medication called a xanthine oxidase inhibitor. It works by reducing the production of uric acid in the body. Uric acid can build up with the death of the cancer cells. If it wasn't addressed, the kidneys might have trouble. It's all about balance. Anyway, looking forward to the week. The further the infusions get behind me, the better I feel. I have a doc appointment coming up to check my progress. I'll be interested in seeing my blood work results. That will show how the treatment worked so far. Don't know what to expect. They were headed down after the first day of treatment. Five more cycles should bury it deep. I'll keep you posted.

    1. Thanks Linda! This laying around gets boring but it's necessary I guess. Hopefully I will get creative this week as energy level comes back. Cooking and songs are on my list! See you all soon!
