Today was my 2nd and final day for the chemo Cytoxan, and probably my worst of all the days that I've been here. Today's reactions were nausea, watery eyes, congestion, runny nose, and itchy mouth. I was on a bunch of meds to counteract the reactions to the chemo. The only one that seemed to work was the anti-nausea med, Zofran. Munching on ice chips only gave me momentary relief from the mouth itchiness. All I could do was try to sleep off the reactions with a cold towel on my head.
Todd and Rhonda came to visit today. Todd hung out with me in the room, while Rhonda and the kids hung out with Becky by the fountains. It's always good to hang out with friends and family to help keep the spirits up as long as I'm able to not be nauseous. I capped off the night with my first blood transfusion since I've been here. They didn't want to transfuse me until I went under 7.0 hemoglobin. They gave me some Tylenol and Benadryl in my IV to help with the watery eyes, congestion, and runny nose. That stuff worked immediately. Where was that stuff all day?
