Wouldn't you know that the day after I posted my last update, my doctor's office called and gave me the news. Because I had an allergic reaction to the Carboplatin during date #5, I will need to go through a desensitization procedure for the next and last date with Mr. Chemo. I thought ... I won't be sensitive anymore. Sniff! Sniff!!!!! LOL!!!!
What this procedure entails is spending 12 hours, as an outpatient, in the hospital so they can slowly drip the Carboplatin into my body. Although I'm not really looking forward to sitting in one place for 12 hours, I'm ready for this whole dating thing to be over!!! Therefore, what usually takes 1 long day will be stretched over 2+ days.
Next week's never-ending date looks like this:
Sunday, July 12 - COVID-19 test. Because I will be in the hospital for the procedure, I need to be tested 2 days prior.
- Please pray for negative results!!!
Tuesday, July 14 - Regular follow-up appointment.
- Please pray for good results from blood work on Thursday, July 9, etc.
Wednesday, July 15 - Carboplatin Desensitization @ Cooper Hospital
- Please pray that I would tolerate the drug well and the procedure would be smooth
Thursday, July 16 - Finish my Date #6 with Mr. Chemo and ring the bell!!!
- Please pray that all would go well with this infusion. I have had a reaction to this drug in the past.
Friday, July 17 - Last injection to boost my white blood cells.
- Please pray I will never need to date Mr. Chemo again!!!
Only by His Strength,
Sandy
