Had an appointment with my oncologist on Monday and I was supposed to have another round of chemo then. Oops! I thought I was done after 4. So I had it rescheduled to today. I need one more after this one. Apparently the ultrasound showed some improvement and six is the normal number of chemo treatments given. I was SO looking forward to having a good December with no treatments. Oh well....
This place is full of activity today! Met with the nurse navigator and the chaplain. Chatted with the patient in the next chair.
I didn't eat during treatment last time and felt nauseous right away even with the IV anti-nausea meds. I made sure to eat this time to see if that helps. I felt sick yesterday and actually threw up and turns out that's called "anticipatory vomiting". I have noticed that when I have blood drawn the smell from the tape they use makes me nauseous. Also, when my port is flushed with saline I get a metallic taste in my mouth. I have another anti-nausea drug to take along with the Compazine. It's called Zofran.
