Just wanted to keep you updated. I received a call from the hospital earlier this afternoon. They wanted me to know that I qualified for the trial and the computer picked me to receive the trial chemo as opposed to the standard protocol drugs. I have to be at the hospital tomorrow morning at 8AM to start. Since this is the first time I will be receiving this chemo they need to monitor me close to make sure I have no adverse reactions. Before, during and after the infusion I will have blood drawn to check platelets, etc. I also need to have Benedryl (the strong one that makes you goofy - they put it right in the IV) in case of any allergic reactions. I also need to be monitored for several hours after the infusion for any reactions. I'm a little nervous since I will be entering a new frontier that hopefully will help women in the future. I've been looking to find some good out of all of this and maybe this is it. Let's keep our fingers crossed. I'll keep you all updated as I go through this new adventure.
Until then I'll have my dancin' slippers on tomorrow. Keep me in your thoughts!
Remember to KEEP ON DANCIN' my friends!
