I received chemo today. Both the Taxol and the Carboplatin. Pre-meds and extra fluids. But very wiped out the rest of the day. But hopefully I am getting back on track from here on out.
My oncologist appointment went pretty well. I need to arrange some medication adjustments to help with the low blood pressure. I also will be going in for fluids whenever it starts to drop. I will need to take my blood pressure every time before driving my car to determine the safety.
I was also instructed that in the future, if an ER/hospital visit is needed, I need to insist everything be reviewed by an oncologist before any opinions or diagnosis. And I need to stay on the oncology floor and be treated by oncology nurses and doctors. This past visit I was on a cardiac floor because I was on a continual monitor due to my blood pressure.
All in all, it was a good oncology day. I have instructions and I have a plan. I function better under these types of parameters.
Thank you for all the texts and calls. Your support is amazing, uplifting, and motivating.
Thank you also to my special guest for accompanying me today. You made it all much more "fun". And no Karen wigs for you.......
