Long story short - I finished round 9 of Oxaliplatin this past Monday without any major probs. It was a longggg day, left around 10am & returned home around 9:30ish. I had the treatment at Roper Hospital in downtown Charleston this time. The folks there were real good about things - I just felt uncomfortable for some of the dealio. Having the chemo treatment is hard and *anything* that makes you feel more at ease (familiar faces, same comfy chairs etc...) makes a big difference. But the Ladies in Oncology @ Roper were great...they usually close up shop at 8pm (at least that's what the hours are; 8am - 8pm), but they were very attentive and professional and friendly until I was totally done w/ my treatment which was pushing 9.
Starting back up w/ Xeloda (the oral chemo drug I also take) tonight, take this twice a day for the next 2 weeks. I might have 1 one week round left and that'll be all for Xeloda.
and drum roll please, just one more round of Ox left - I am guessing it will be Monday the 11th but I will find out next week. Many many thoughts about this realization - but will post on that soon. I'm real whipped from work - more later.
