"Your Bleomycin treatment today will be no big deal"
I put my parents through hell and back last night.....
For some reason, I had a weird reaction to the drug....
It all started out well enough with a trip to the clinic to see the oncologist and get some bleo....I felt so good afterwards, Mom & Dad took me out for a burger (I had been craving one for days.....)
The burger (and fries) were great!!!!!
Then the FUN started..... for some reason, my body temperature started falling.....I just couldn't get warm and started shaking (convulsing I would say.) Mom & Dad were freaking out - adding heating blankets, putting blankets in the dryer, and doing anything to warm me up......I looked like a freaking mummy.....My Mom called my sister who rushed over with medical supplies in hand (note to Michele - bring an IV next time - is that legal?????) My body temperature was 95.1.
The convulsions lasted 1-2 hours. I finally warmed up.
Next problem. Body temperature 102.
If my temp went over 101, I was supposed to be taken to the ER. No f'ing way was I going to the hospital.....My sis calmed down my parents and convinced them not to take me to the ER.
Eventually, I just went to bed.......
Mom & Dad didn't get too much sleep last night.....I feel bad because I did put them through some serious sh*%......
I'm much better today, just T-I-R-E-D.......
