Chemo #7 went well, no major problems.......welll unless you consider hooking me up to someone else's drug a problem! The drip hadn't started yet, they were just running the saline through, but the drug was all hooked up to the tube in my arm, ready to roll. Then this nurse came out of no where and ripped it out of my arm and marched off! Tom and I sat there looking at each other. My nurse came back with another bag and hooked me up to that, when we asked what was going on she mumbled something and off she went. I made Tom go find out what was going on, and if they had indeed hooked me up to someone elses drug, I wanted a new nurse. She was a very nice nurse and everyone is allowed to have a bad day.....just not on me. A few days later I got a phone call from the Director of the Hospital apologizing for the mixup! Note to everyone....... always check your own medication, if you are receving an IV, check the bag, make sure its your own name on there!
Hopefully Chemo #8 (last one....whoo hooo) is going ahead tommorrow, I am getting the bloodwork done today, hopefully all will be good! Surgery is in less than 2 weeks, assuming Chemo is a go tommorrow. I am a bit anxious about that, I'm certainly not sleeping well these days, I just want to get it over with so I don't have to think about it.
The Run for the Cure went well, I raised $2700, the 2 teams here in Ontario raised around $15,000, not to mention all those who were running in Newfoundland! So thanks to everyone! There are pics posted on the website, I have to try and figure out how to post them here. So if there is no link here, go back to the main site.
