Well now, get ready for a little surprise in the number of IV drips that are administered. Day one I counted 16 (they are small drips but still) and I lost count on day 2 and 3.
Day one is a good 4 hour session: Blood is drawn and tested - a check up is done by the oncologist and then drip after drip after drip after ........
DAY 1 - Side Effect: Kirstin only had a slight headache which was quickly sorted out by a single Panado.
Day two is a one and a half hour drip and drip and drip and and session.
DAY 2 - Side Effect: Sensitivity to light
Day three is similar to day two and lasted about 2 hours
DAY 3 - Side Effect: Fatigue - She was really tired
Kirstin has a four day break now until Monday (Day 8). Well by a break I mean no chemo because here comes the next surprise .... each morning she must take 18 tablets: 3 chemo tabs: 14 cortisone tabs and 1 nausea tab .... this should be fun for a girl who dislikes medication.
