Another Week Down

So #2 done.  Started at 8:00 a.m. had lab work done (which was not on my calendar but apparently I do every week).  Numbers came back good so proceeded with treatment.  This takes between 1 and 1.5 hours of just waiting.  This time they put the benadryl in my IV and not directly into my port so it was a much gentler effect but still ended up lying back and snoozing off and on during treatment.  I only have the clinic trial drug every other week so we were done by 11:00 which would have been really just a little less than 2 hours of IV.   We were home timely, and I did end up taking a two hour nap from about 1:30 to 3:30 but it was good.  I got out with Broghan and walked a couple miles, came in and cleaned up house, and have just been busy.  These treatments are not putting me down at all and I could almost have done it later in the day and gone to work in the morning.  I won't change it now - really can use the rest of Friday to take care of me.   Work is not going to calm down so I will just take the time.

Again, my goal is to keep my white count up and that is through good nutrition, staying active, and staying healthy.
