A good day
Today was less eventful in terms of tapping into a good blood source. Thankfully!
The Rituximab went in over 3 hours and I tolerate it very well with minimal side effects. Felt a little flat for a couple of hours but that passed quickly.
Nice to have that done. I have now slotted into a 2 monthly Rituximab cycle for the next 2 years. All very manageable.
Being in the big blue chair is always confronting and challenging. Although my treatment is tolerable it does bring back a raft of emotions which are tricky. I really felt for a number of patients today who were being given some really strong chemo and other drugs. The lack of privacy for all makes it so much harder. I found myself just watching the system at work and thinking of ways of improving it. I will look to get involved and see what I can do to make a difference.
The family attended a school function tonight at which Alessia and other students presented their special projects to the school and parent community. I was really proud of Alessia efforts in preparing and presenting. One of those proud parent moments!!
Feeling great.

goodie goodie! it does really make me happy to read all the good emotions, feelings, energy etc. Keep it up. And I am sure the big blue chair process will improve with your ideas!!
