It's all getting very routine which is comforting, mostly. Today the infusion went well except for a little pain when Connor put the needle in (we discussed ports, cousin Verandah, but they are not having trouble with my veins and I only have one more infusion planned) and some stabbing pain with the Benadryl.
People are so used to chemo being the only option. They look at me and say I look fine, clearly used to the horrors of chemo side effects. I feel I have to at least tell them that I am NOT doing chemo but we need to see how the PET scan comes out--i may need to do Treanda but I'm hoping not. I am clinging to something the naturopath said, that he would be "shocked" if the lymphoma/tumors have not disappeared after 6 treatments with Rituxan (plus Vitamin C and Leukine). Is that really what he said, Steve? And then you have to wonder, how often is he shocked?
Yes, he did say shocked.
ReplyDeleteYes, Carla, he said he would be shocked.
