Again, nothing too eventful going on. Boredom has officially set in - at least for now. I started my morning at 5:00 AM when I began Mesna and IV fluids. At 6:00 AM I got Cytoxan and once again only experienced a slight burning in my nostrils. Tomorrow will be my last day of IV Chemotherapy. Yippee!
Today is the first day that I have begun to show any significant side effects. I am extremely tired and, well, have to make frequent bathroom visits. Enough said. Once a sample is tested I'll be offered Imodium, but I'm told it won't work in this instance anyway. Great!
My blood counts are depleting which is exactly what is supposed to happen. I received two pints of blood today to give me a little boost, but this is how things will be going over the next 10 days or so. The chemotherapy is clearing out my old cancerous marrow and as a result my blood counts are dropping. Perfect!

Thought I'd check in before turning in. Sounds like everything is going as it should, with some unpleasant side affects. Hopefully those side affects will stop soon! Thinking of you and wishing you much better days to come.
