The Third Chemo

Tuesday, Oct. 25: This past week has not been too bad. I had chemo on Thursday. We had friends come into town Friday night and we went out with them. We stayed out pretty late and I didn't get tired. Saturday night was homecoming night so I knew that Allison would be out late. Two friends were also spending the night with her. Jason ended up having 2 friends spend the night (6 kids--what was I thinking!?!) I was up 'til about 1:30am. I did pretty good though. I rested on Sunday and took it easy. The only side effects I seemed to have is sneezing and runny nose once the benadryl that they give me in my IV wears off. I take more benadryl today and tomorrow and it seems to get better after that. I got the taxol and avastin today. They speed up the time it takes the avastin to go in. It took an hour and a half the first time. This time they said they will put it in in an hour and then the next time 30 minutes. It is the same amount, they just speed up the time it goes into the IV. I am also on prilosec for the heartburn and indigestion and I don't have any problems with that. I didn't feel so out of it this time and was not drowsy on the way home. I did take a nap in the afternoon because a friend gave me 2 tickets to see the Blue Man Group tonight so I am going to try and get rested for that.
