The trip to the clinic was pretty uneventful again. Infusion of melphalan, antinausea meds, shot of Lovenox, labs. My labs all look fine and my potassium was back up a little so the dietary intervention is working. They advised me to start wearing a face mask in the clinic waiting room even before my white blood counts drop, so I asked them if they had any smaller sizes since the standard issue size is WAY to big for my little face. I felt like it couldn't possibly be doing much of anything productive last time around. I think it was more a mix of pure luck and diligent hand cleanliness paranoia that saved me from getting sick last time my counts were low. Luckily my nurse was nice enough to go on a hunt and managed to find some that fit a little better, so I'll have a little more protection.
A little more tired today but otherwise feeling good. I slept ok last night too so I guess I'm lucky that the Dex isn't stringing me out to much. Tomorrow is the last day of chemo before the transplant on Monday!
And in other news, I now may have officially lost faith in Rotten Tomatoes. We just watched Let me In, which also got a 90% rating just like Source Code. Being horror fans, we were hopeful this would be a rare gem of the genre with it's 90% on the Tomatometer. Not even close!
Watch the original ( let the right one in) - it's fantastic!
