I have been going to the center for Vitamin C infusions for 3 weeks now. I hoped it would only take an hour but it's more like an hour and 45 minutes--even with a phone call ahead to try and get the pharmacy there to get the infusion ready for me. It's no fun getting poked (since I don't have a port) and the vitamin is cold which causes my arm to hurt. So they give me a heating pad but that causes the tape holding down the needle to stick to my skin and hurt like the devil to take off. One thing always causes another thing, right? But once it's done it's an hour to relax. I drifted off, listening to my book on my mp3 player, until someone's phone woke me up.
I am supposed to keep getting Vitamin C until the next scan which I think is in 6 months. That's a lot of time to spend there, hooked up, so to speak! Others are there getting the same thing. The study they are doing that proves that this treatment helps keep the lymphoma from worsening is coming out soon.
