I can't believe I'm at the two-thirds mark! Happy day, just four more to go.

This particular treatment was not without incident, however. For the first time, I had an allergic reaction to one of the chemo drugs that I get at the Cancer Center on Wednesdays. I was sitting in my lovely recliner getting ready to answer some emails. I had even told my boss I could be on a conference call - I'd never had any issues before. Well, about 10 minutes into the treatment and 20 minutes before the call was to start, my mouth started itching and I got really warm. Then my whole body was itching and the puking began. Awesome! I felt really bad. They had to stop the chemo and give my Benedryl to stop the allergic reaction. The Benedryl knocked me out for about 90 minutes, and when I woke up, I was fine.

When I went in to get the pump removed today, the nurses said that after a certain number of doses of that particular drug, you body reaches a tolerance and that's when the reactions can begin. So, for the last four treatments, I'll have to take a big dose of Benedryl first to counteract the allergy. That means sleepy time! But, it also means I can't drive myself home, so Leah will be accompanying me to the last four treatments.

But, like I said, only four left. Of course, I'm not looking forward to the next 36 hours of feeling like crap, but hopefully I'll be feeling pretty good by Sunday morning, especially since I'm teaching the Gospel Doctrine lesson again this week!

So, that's it for now. Time for a nap!
