Chemo #3 - Round 4

The nurse called me last night to tell me that my white count was not high enough but the Dr. was going to let me go ahead with chemo. I get a week off now. The chemo almost had to administered by an IV in my hand. They couldn't get blood return from my port (they normally can't) but the IV would run by gravity either. They have to be very cautious when administering chemo, that it is going into the vein as it can cause serious tissue damage if not. They finally had me lay in a bed and that got the IV flowing. Whew!! That was a close one. After that the chemo went fine.

I saw my neck doctor yesterday. Alignment is still good. He had a hard time seeing the bone in the area so he is sending me for an MRI. I should hear next week about a date. I need to go back through my blogs and count how many MRI's and CAT scans that I have had. More than a normal person I should think.

Jessica and I are off to San Francisco tonight to visit my sister and her family for a week. I have taken some anti nausea medication already to head things off early. Hopefully I will feel good tomorrow.

If anything note worthy happends I will blog from her house. If not then I will blog again next Wednesday.

Happy Easter to everyone.
