Day 1 Recap

I entered the hospital late Saturday, so Sunday I will call Day 1.

First, this treatment is a little different than the RICE I had before. I started off earlier with Rituxian. I will have 6 doses of etoposide (one every 12 hours) and have ifospmide mixed with mesna going 24 hours for 3 days. It's a lot of drugs, but still baby stuff compared to the chemo I will have as part of the stem cell transplant.

They were going to change my chest line, but going to hold off a little. They have to put in a larger line to collect blood in a few weeks.

This chemo is starting to hit me so will write tomorrow....
