I started the new chemo drug Cisplatin on Tuesday. After a blood panel to be sure I was healthy enough, they gave a lot of fluids to protect my kidneys, then the Cisplatin. I felt as though I were on fire. No vomiting but I get what feels like a hot flash, then sweats and then I am cold. I am fatigued, too.
Wed I started radiation for the breast. I had to lie still for about an hour and half while the team marked me up for directed radiation. It was hard. Partly because I was a body section piece of meat and partly because it was cold and uncomfortable. I used the art of Zen for cleansing breaths and dreams.
Thursday everything was set up for me and the procedure went fast.
Friday I go from radiation back to the Shiver's Center and on to Xray for a dye study to find out why my portacath is not giving blood return.
With the new radiation schedule (every weekday morning at 9:30 am) I only get to see my fur kid dogs on the weekend.
I am really tired and going back to sleep now.
Hug your dearest ones, Peggy
