"PT Cy" which stands for post treatment Cytosine today. Body not liking it!

Today was pretty uneventful. I generally don't feel well or normal but can usually plug along. The rash is pretty status quo. They still think it is a drug reaction and hopefully it's not like a drug they are still giving me. 

The prep medications aways make me feel lousy. Nurse Addie gave me a cup full of pills to take and short after started to push an IV drug to battle nausea, I started vomiting over and over. We had no idea how much of any of the drugs actually got into my system but Nurse Addie said she went dumpster diving to see if any pill were in there and couldn't find any. I used the trash can; now I have a barf bag with me all the time because there was just no warning! 

Without getting too graphic, my body spent the afternoon getting rid of what it didn't like in the bathroom. The nurse wondered if she should check for C-diff but things calmed down before she did and I don't have the other symptoms. 

The chemo added today is called Post Transplant Cytosine or cyclophosphamide and the drug they give with it, besides all the anti-nausea and anti-allergic reaction drugs is Mesna. 

I am so amazed by how fast time seems to be going. 7 full days here now and I'd believe it if you said it had been three. 

I'm dozing a lot these days which probably helps. I brought so many things to do and have done pretty much nothing.

Off for my nightly shower. They make me wipe down with these sticky, stinky wipes if I don't shower every day. I don't love the showers because they don't ever really get as hot as I like it. It's kinda like a tease. 

Thank you for the mug, Jude! I so wish we were still neighbors too! And all the cards. I got 3 cards from you today, Suz. You've always got the words that help my heart. 

sweet dreams all ! xoxo
