11/5/07 First Round of Chemo

Well, I am happy to report that this has been a pretty good day. I was only in the infusion center for 3 hours and got two types of the new Chemo (Fludura and cyclophosphamide) , and some pre-meds for nausea, anxiety (not that I have any of that) , etc.

My white counts are down from 787 to 607, and my red counts are up from 16 to 21. I feel pretty good in general. After the treatment we went out to lunch, and then went to Costco for short shopping trip.

Although I don't really have any side affects right now, they say they could take 3-4 days to develop, although some people don't ever get any.

Tomorrow and Wed are two more days of the same treatment, so they should both be short (which lately is a good thing).

They won't take another blood test until after the treatment on Wednesday, so I really won't know how it is working until Thursday. I still have a Dr. appt on Wed to review everything.

All for now.

Thanks for the emails of encouragement, they really do help.

Terry
