I went into this treatment knowing more of what to expect, so I was prepared and ready to take it on.
First I visited with my doctor and everything is looking good. However, I let him know that I am having headaches and blurry vision every day. More than likely it is just my vision and not the effects from chemo, but he wants to rule out the chance of any cancer being in my brain, so I am scheduled for an MRI of my brain on October 24th. I was taken aback by this course of action, but I appreciate him being thorough with my health.
Treatment went fine, nothing out of the ordinary.
I felt really good today, Thursday, and ran a bunch of errands to prepare for the inevitable aches and pains that will take me out of commission til Monday. When I told my doctor that I had horrible aches and pains with the last treatment, he reduced the dosage of the Neulasta shot to hopefully lessen the effects of the aches and pains. I sure hope that is the case. I will know tomorrow.
That's my update...nothing else to share right now.
so glad this treatment is going better! I can relate to being surprised by the docs response to your headaches. I have been having strange headaches since last spring...I've had two brain MRI's since!!! No fun!! They found a bunch, over a dozen white spots...(they have an official name, I just can't pronounce it) they think I had a series of mini strokes after my surgery when I had the blood clots! Hmmm I guess that's good to know , 4 years later!!! And the Neulasta shots killed me...I had horrible, horrible chest pains ...at my last treatment a doctor who was also getting chemo and would sit next to Jeff and I during the treatments mentioned that she took an antihistamine after right after the Neulasta shot and it really helped...so I tried it and she was right it really helped. Wish I would have know that for all the previous treatments! Your almost done with treatments YAY!!! I'm so happy for you!!!!!
