Lift off

Lift off! Heading to Wilmot Cancer Centrer. Blood work, talk with my doctor, then the infusion of the FCR cocktail. This day seemed so far away......more later.
-We'll it's 3 pm and one drug is done...the Retuxan. Minimal reaction of rash. Benedryl took care of that. You get a bit loopy but it beats the alternative. Two drugs to go, Fluderabine and Cyclophosphamide. A half hour each. I can do this! The staff has been great...the different drugs I take on top of the FCR would make a pharmacist blush. They find a balance and it makes future infusions easier. Nap time. More tomorrow.
-10:40 pm....still feel good! Two more days and 1 of 6 cycles are done! Also to note, ate half of a pizza and washed it down with a protein shake for dinner. Hey, a man's gotta eat! LOL!
