However Black Wednesday got in there this week. Wednesday is the day both my Doctors see their patients. And one of them The Chemo guy is famous for being from 2 to 3 hours late for his appointments. Then he comes in like a storm and acts as if you have 15 seconds to ask all the questions you want. After a few minutes he settles down and you do have time to get in your questions and for him to check you.
So, on Wednesday this week I had: Blood draw (in line with about 100 other people) Dr. appt with Dr Blumenshein at 2:40, Dr app with Dr. McAleer at 3:00 Proton at 4:30 and Chemo at 6:30. After waiting for Dr. Blumenschein for quite some time, they sent us to the Proton Center to get that done early. So, down two elevators, across a 3rd story walkway to the garage, up that elevator, get car and drive about 6 blocks to Proton center. Get the Proton Treatment, then return to main building same way, only to find that we are still waiting to see Blumenschein. Finally see him about 4:45 and then down to other end of MDA to see Dr McAleer who is waiting to see me for she was to go home at 4:30. Then to Chemo lab at 6:30 The Chemo lasted 4 hours and we finally left at 11:15 p.m. and home at Midnight!!!
Thursday morning was spent trying to re-arrange the schedule to prevent another Wednesday like that. Still not fixed well, but some better.
It was a long rough day and we were 2 days catching back up. The Chemo was just a boring 4 hours and so far no ill effects from it. However I'm told it is cumulative and the future infusions could prove to be rather nauseous among other symptoms. We'll see. till later, Stan
