Gary had his first round of Bortizemib and completed that a week ago. Yesterday was the mega day for chemo. He was at NIH all day got a lovely cocktail of meds in his IV to include taking some home so it would be infused over a 24 hour period. He has a pump and an IV bag and it goes in his arm through a PICC line. He has to go back every day and get the bag changed out. That goes on until Tuesday and then they give him a mega dose of something (can't remember the name now) and it is the one that could make him feel really crappy. So far, he is doing fine with no side effects. He was a bit nauseated on the way home from chemo yesterday, but it was probably my driving! It was rush hour and there was a lot of starting and stopping. That was it for side effects. Oh, and he is on a whopping dose of prednisone. 140 mg twice a day for 5 days! Every 3 weeks, he will get this round of stuff.... Hair should be falling out in a couple of weeks.
I hate this for him... I hate this for him... I hate this for him.
