When my onco finally arrived, she was ready to begin with the pre-meds.
I immediately asked her about the tingling sensation that I felt earlier and she said that it's a normal feeling and that it's not just with corticosteroids. She in fact asked me if I feel the same way while she was pushing dyphenhydramine into the IV and I said yes. This happens during the first 2-3 seconds while pushing the meds and it just vanishes.
She warned me that dyphen will make me sleepy and I didn't think so. But it did.
I was feeling sleepy in no time at all but I was trying to fight it. Candidly, later, my onco told me not to fight the feeling for it will bring me headaches. So I started to drift to sleep.
And that was what I was doing the whole time of the chemo session.
I woke up several times but too sleepy to stay awake. I couldn't remember how many times I did and fall back to sleep but I wasn't really fully awake until the chemo session is over.
I never felt anything during the whole time because I was sleeping.
I am now home.
But sadly, my onco says that my down time is two weeks and I can't allow any visitors in the house. Too bad, huh? But what can we do?
She also warned me that my hair might start to fall off slowly and that I shouldn't be afraid because it's normal.
She also urged me to eat and eat and eat. Which I'm trying and doing. I know it's going to be hard, but that's how we fight. No matter what the fight is, we fight hard. And we pray hard to fight hard.
