I caught a 48 hour cold on Wednesday before infusion #4. ended up with slight chest cold, but got about 85% better before Monday infusion on Oct 5th. Early morning PET scan indicated that tumor "uptake", ie activity had been reduced by about 75%....good news! Doctor is still mulling whether to go with 6 or 8 infusions. My 5th infusion will be October 26th, and #6 will be November 16th. We head to California to see Laila's new baby on November 23rd.
A week after infusion, I seem to be plagued with chest congestion, which keeps me up at night. Taking TheraFlu to help. ALSO, I was surprised to wake up on Saturday with a severe bone pain in the arch of one foot. Limp, Limp......... Taking non-asprin pain reliever seems to pretty well, enough to allow me to continue remodeling job of changing out the windows for a customer.
Final shot of neupogen type drug today (build up white blood cells). It will be interesting to see if bone pain goes away by end of week.
