Chemo Schmemo

The past couple days since I returned home from the hospital have been a little rough... I really haven't bee able to keep anything down. I'm hoping for much better success with that today. I seem to be feeling a little better this morning!

Unhooked

The last bag of IL2 just finished dripping, so I have been disconnected. I have two more shots to get and then I'll be DCed from the hospital. Looking forward to heading home, though I am feeling tired and fatigued. Thanks for keeping up with me during my 4th hospital stay.

Beginning Day 3 of Round 4

So far, this stay has been relatively uneventful. I have been tired, had some chills and a few spells of N, V and D, but not too bad overall. My parents and Christian have been here with me since I came up on Friday evening. I have received a few other visitors as well. Kristina and Rolando came up on Sunday night and Janna and Cory came to visit this afternoon. It's been nice to hang out and I have been feeling well enough to chit chat. I completed my second knitting project (another scarf) and taught my sister a few of the basics as we began working on a third scarf together. I should be finishing with my treatment sometime on Wednesday and then hopefully home to recover after that... I'll keep you posted!!

In the hospital

Finally, we made it to Baltimore on Friday night and we were treated to a nice fireworks display over at the harbor which we watched from the room view. So far things are going well. I have finished one day of treatment and am working on the next. I have been taking lots of naps and getting around some. Christian and my mom and dad have been up hear keeping me company. I just got back fro a walk on the treadmill (about 25min). Though I'm sleepy and having some N V and D and the chills, overall things aren't too bad.

Finally, a Bed!

After a long week of waiting and getting bumped each day, I finally got the call this afternoon that there is a bed available. Shortly, I will be heading up to Baltimore to begin Round 4. Traffic should be fun!!! I will try and post over the weekend to let you know how things are going.
Have a great Memorial Weekend everyone!!!!

Waiting Game

Well, I didn't go to the hospital today. Unfortunately there were no beds available. I am awaiting a call tomorrow to see when I will be admitted. Other than that, all is going well. I'm enjoying this period where I'm really feeling quite good.
I'll keep you updated.

Not Going Yet

Hi everyone.
I'm still at home. I just found out that I won't be going to the hospital today as there aren't any beds available. I am on the schedule for tomorrow, but it's still a waiting game.
I don't know whether to be excited or bummed about not going today. It's kind of a strange thing...
I guess I'll just have to relax a little more and get outside to enjoy the beautiful afternoon we're having.
I'll keep you posted...
Love,
Erica
