Today I met my chemo doctor - on the day that my chemo is supposed to start. Although there are a long list of side effects, I found out that nausea, rash and diarrhea are the main ones, with a slight drop in white blood cells. I've have a blood test every week to check on my immune system. Since they don't have any samples, I'll have to wait for them to arrive tomorrow. Apparently, I'm not allowed to order them chemo drugs from my pharmacy. The insurance company requires that they be distributed by mail order. This may have something to with a shortage of chemo drugs in this country, and as well as them not being in big demand.
The dry run for radiation also happened today. They put my mask on, and situated me on the table and measured distances so that they would be putting the radiation in the right place. I happened to wear an longer cotton shirt from India, and found that I don't need to wear a gown if I wear that. Need more Indian shirts! I need an excuse to go shopping!
I had an another PT appointment for my knee. My knee is more swollen today because she worked on the back where the hamstring attaches. More stretching needed!
