This treatment went very well. I tolerated all of the meds very well, but one of the things I've noticed is steroids give you an appetite like crazy and I pretty much ate so much I became a bit "stopped up" when we got home. The nurses are all great, the facility is great. The only problem I ran into was I got sweaty on the way home and when I got out of the car got chilled so bad I was shaking uncontrollably. Luckily, my wife had a lot of blankets sitting on the steam register and she wrapped me up. Took 2 hour bath, all problems resolved. Nurse said I might feel a bit "wonky" and she's been right about everything so far.
Day 2
Steroids make me where I cannot sleep and have me pretty wired. I think I have about experienced every possible side effect. But the night of day 2 I only got 1 hour of sleep.
Day 3
Blood draw. Really tired. Managed to stay awake most of day dozing a few times. Went to library and store to break up day.
Day 4
Rest day. Wife and daughter off shopping so I'm catching up on 40 episodes of Naruto, my favorite Anime.
I feel pain on my left side which seems to correspond with other tumor necrosis sites I've had pain before. More energy. I think this stuff is really working. Hoping I can be put up to max dose soon again, the more I get I think the better.
