What a ride! Second round of chemo

Did round 2 today but didnt get the same DeX injection I had last time prior to drip. Immediately felt a heat wave, flushed, major tom to ground control! Nurse swooped in and stopped the chemo and evaluated. Called MO who said dose me with benadryl, tylenol and anxiety med. Did that and things smoothed out. Came home and immediate diarrhea...with the burn! Imodiam and aquaphor to rescuse! Plus have a neulasta pump ready to go.

Good news was they had these rice crispy bars the size of a brick! I took 2...on account of the extra fun!

Yep, I am sure it was a miss, which I will make sure doesnt happen again. They keep messing up and they will be out of rice crispy trests soon! And maybe all the m&ms!

Despite the screw up, nice to see you taking things calmly.

All the very best, Maleko808.
