A Long Day in the New Digs


Our new "cubbies" for spa day with our own LCD tv.  Suh-weet!  


 the healing garden right outside the infusion area


I am so getting my CT scans done here next time, just so I can stare at that cool thing in the ceiling!

Wednesday was the first day to add in the new drug to replace the one that I had a reaction to: Cisplatin.  My onc. is giving it with a little different protocol than normal in order to de-sensitize my body to the drug.  The drawback is that it takes ALL day to administer it as they dilute it with a lot of fluid.  The computers were down on my first visit in the new cancer center, so that was a little chaotic for everyone.  Hopefully the internet will work better too.  I couldn't get to blogger to blog anything, and it has taken me until now to update things.    All that fancy shmancy stuff, and I just want to get on blogger!   

So far I have just been tired this week, but no nausea or anything, so that's good.   The doctor wants to keep on this type of combo that I am doing as I have had such good results with it so far.  Here's to hoping and praying we keep the good results coming.

Hi Amy, where is this facility? I don't recognize it. I'm noticing that medical facilities are changing the way they look. There really is something to be said about having beautiful, comforting surroundings to aid to the healing process.
