Bleomycin doesn't like me.....

Another exciting bleomycin treatment......

The doc's were slightly concerned that I would have another reaction to the bleo so they loaded me up with benedryl and tylenol before my treatment and told me to take another dose 4 hours later.

We brought a blanket in the car and cranked the heater so I wouldn't get the chills on the way home.

Well......within 2 hours, I was having another reaction....chills, convulsing, etc.

Fortunately, my sis was working at the hospital down the street. Mom & Dad ruched me to the ER and they were waiting for me.

It's funny how I was freezing and the first thing they want to do is take off all of your clothes. It was also a fun task to start an IV when my arm was shaking like crazy. That HURT!!!!

They loaded me up with fluids and sterioids and within 2 hours I was feeling better. They sent me home and I went to bed....

This morning I feel like I have a major hangover without having any of the fun last night.....
