On the days that my bloodcount was really low I would get a shot into the IV. Heavens, I can't remember what some of this stuff was anymore! Then the nurse would hook up the pump and put into the fanny pack for me to take home. I know that was the Leukovorin. On Thursday I went back in to have the pump disconnected. Then a week off. I kept the fanny pack while the center wanted the pump back. There were 30+ recliner chairs in the chemo treatment area of the center. Those were always full and people were in the waiting area just waiting for their turn to get into the chairs and start their treatment. I did so well on the chemo that I didn't need radiation. I'm hoping that will be the same for Tina!Carol Urbanhttp://www.geocities.com/carolnphilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148557835301914580.post-79385983597743295872009-04-08T20:50:00.000-05:002009-04-08T20:50:00.000-05:00CONGRATS!

Keep your head up, and keep on moving. <BR/>Question - you don't have to go back in tomorrow for another office visit? Hmph - I had to go into the office everyday for three days in a row...day 1, to get poked and hooked up, day 2 to change out the pump meds and to get an infusion of Leukovorin, and day 3 to have it all taken off. Interesting. I wonder what Carol had - I assumed that it was all the same. Very interesting.<BR/>Anywhoo, SO glad you made it through with seemingly flying colors.
