Ok, the worst bit is now over. The anti-body drug is finally finished. We are on a 30 minute break and then we start the chemo drip. The retuxamab was a one-shot, 5-hour ordeal. Now we go into the new trial drug, Bendamustine, starts soon. Apparently is a very effective drug Europe. We come back again tomorrow for another 30 minutes of Bendamustine (not FDA approved yet in Canada, mum is the first person in BC to receive it).
She is feeling much better, is sitting up, eyes open, and just ate a banana and a few bits of cold pea soup. The nausea has completely subsided.
The bad news is that the nice quiet lady with the wig has gone home and there are a couple of very LOUD Phillipino gentlement who insist on screaming into their mobile phones. It is taking all of our best efforts not to say something.
I"ll try to attach some photos for y'all.
