June 12 Morning Update

I’m ambulatory this morning and not feeling too badly. I’m scheduled for chemo at 1:15 this afternoon. Last Monday I got 145 mg of Taxotere and 1550 mg of Gemzar. Today I expect to get only the 1550 mg of Gemzar. The only problem with the Gemzar is that it is quite painful as it drips into my vein. I’m going to have a bit of a fight with the nurse about the drip rate to minimize the pain. Last time she said she had to get it within the 30-minute time frame. I am unconvinced and will argue for an extension.

I think I feel well enough to go into the office this morning. I’m also hungry.
