Tx one is done!

Today was my first day of Erbulin. Of course I was a little anxious about how the new chemo would go, but I have been pretty busy at work and consumed with enjoying the week off chemo. I really only had pockets of time when I could worry about it all. 

I started with the general blood draw and then met with the doctor who wanted to be sure my questions about the chemo were answered. I talked with the office nurses about some alternative/complementary medicines. Then headed back to the chemo pharm. Shortly after there was a tornado warning so I had to move to an interior-wall chemo spot. That will make it a memorable day. 

My pre-meds still cover nausea, but don't require steroids anymore. That means I may not end up with the munchies. The chemo, 6.2 cc, is an IV push.  A push is administered with a syringe into the IV along with saline. 

Today's push started out a little shaky. I have some strange vertigo for a second. We had to pause for a minute and be sure everything was ok. Everything worked out just fine. 

I even came home and went to the gym for a while. I am going to fight this cancer and the chemo side effects intentionally. 

Wish me luck. :)
