Abraxene #1 Done!

I had my first round of Abraxene yesterday. It is a ow dose, slow drip chemo. Because I am on a 3 week on 1 week off regimen it is only 100 CFCs, if I remember correctly. They premedicated for about 20 minutes with anti nausea (which worked beautifully) and steroids ( also worked - I craved food all night). Then the chemo dripped in over 35 minutes. They slowed it down for the first round to see what my body would do in response to the new drug. My body watched Dr. oz and Castle. How cool to watch mid-day TV. 

So- it was pretty slick. I think next time I will take my laptop and do some work. I was away from the office for longer than I expected, and work doesn't stop just because you get chemo. Since I am we'll enough I will work at the pharm and save time off for when I need it or to go on vacation. 

Hydration and a positive attitude will be key the next few days to keeping my energy and health at the best levels.
