Day -7: Loads of chemo, hard day for Deb + LWC at home

We were supposed to get a call from the scheduler if any changes were to happen. We got no call, so we showed up about 8:30 am for our 9 am chemo infusion appointment. Deb was getting settled into the large special chemo-recliners right at 9 am. At 9:05 we were handed the new schedule which showed that Deb was to be at an MRI at 9 am. I quickly called MRI and told them we were coming and to hold our spot. (MRI is a tightly controlled asset and is tightly scheduled)
We scurried downstairs as fast as Deb could go, which was pretty slow due to her feeling so bad. After Deb signed in, she had a few minutes to chat up our bud Troy. He is such an encourager!

After the MRI we headed back to our assigned cube and began a full day of labs and chemo. We had multiple APNs check out Deb. Deb is very much being watched and monitored by various folks. We can't imagine better care!

Here are the chemo's and days scheduled. Note that meds often have 2 or more names just to add to the confusion:

Bortezomib: -days -9,-6,-2
Mesna: -7,-6
Cyclophosphamide: -7
Dexamthasone: -6,-5,-4,-3
Fludarabine: -6,-5,-4,-3,-2
Interleukin-2: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13

Deb had a very difficult day. When we were released I rushed her straight home and she went straight to bed. After she was settled down, I headed out to the body shop to pick up LWC (Little White Car) She looked very good after the new parts and paint were added to her front end. I had asked for a bid on a total new paint job after insurance covered repairs and was quoted 6K, which I quickly declined!

LWC was so happy to come home!
