Oct 10,11

Thurs chemo went well no reactions.  I had the rituxan (melts tumors) first, no reaction this time!!  Then the bendamustin (kills cancer cells) felt really good after no nausea this time. Only bad side effect was sleeplessness but better then nausea and vomiting...

Fri. Went in expecting it to be all day again like last time but was only there an hour and a half.  Only had to do the bendamustine and thats it!! Yay.  Feeling a little tired after and so far feel pretty good.!!  Gonna make sure I take my anti nausea meds and hope for a good weekend.   Have to go get a blood draw Monday.

Oct. 9

Had some strange side effects lately.  Last Wed. started getting leg cramps that lasted for 4 days. UGH! Now my left elbow is numb and my vision is hazy.  Round 2 of chemo this week on Thurs and Fri.  I feel I am better prepared this time since I know what to expect. Definately taking the anti-nausea meds ahead of time.  Also hoping no reactions this time.
