My Unplanned Sabbatical

A journey with follicular lymphoma

Archive for the day “April 17, 2012”

Day one, month three – done

It’s 4.15 pm and I have been in the blue chair since 9 am. One bag of rituximab and one bag of Bendamustin in the system.

Almost done for the day.

The veins in my hands are shot so this time they entered high into my right forearm. No pain so it appears to have worked. No burning either.

The day was long. I listened to Lance Armstrong audio book and played a bit with emails. Petra sat by my side all day, must be so bored!! Big effort.

The nurse tells me I look pale and tired. I feel a little off but not to bad.

Tonight should be ok before I am back tomorrow for my final bag of chemo.

If the past is a guide to the future the fun and games should start tomorrow afternoon after the second bag.

Time will tell.

The dreaded black bag!! It really would look better with an apple logo!
