Day 1, Cycle 4

Well, day one cycle 4 is in the books! I went to the cancer center at 7 am and left at 3 pm. Not all of that was chemo. It starts with a blood test and then a consult with the team to make sure the CBC was where it needed to be; in my case one of the important ones, the neutrophil count was > than 1 at 1.5. I believe the unit is k/microliter of blood. So the chemo started right on schedule at 9 am and finished at 3 pm. The Retuxan or "big bag" takes the most time. It's about a liter and takes about 4 hours. The other 2 are half hour drips each but there's a few saline flushes in between. A long day but not a bad day. Just feeling a little tired right now. All good at the front so far! More tomorrow!
