Got a call this morning at 8 letting us know a room was available. So, up and in the shower and on the road we go.
We got to the hospital about 9, got into our room, met the PA. After going over my history with the nurse and PA I had to have a chest X-ray to assesses my PICC (even though I did this yesterday). No surprise, PICC looks good.
There was an issue with the dosage of my IL 2, so new orders had to be written and messenger from SCCA to UWMC. This ended up delaying my first dose until 3. This actually works out ok as far as scheduling goes, my doses will be at 3 pm, 11 pm and 7 am.
My blood pressure has started higher than last time. That may be helpful, for a little while. I thought I would slide through the first day,however, similar to how the last round ended, about 4 hours after my dose I got extremely nauseated, chilled and just yucky feeling. It lasted a couple of hours, but seems like forever. Next dose at 11. We'll see how it goes:)
Hang in there, you are a tough girl! Think of Mexico and fancy drinks, sand between your toes, and the sweet smell of the ocean...
