Transfusion group.
So now I'm feeling a bit better, and this completes my tour of the local options for transfusion. Going on tour can be pretty tiring. Particularly when you have to walk ;) I think ambulatory simply implies outpatient.
And they do some chemo there, but I'm not certain if it's based on room availability or just simpler types of medication, so disregard that bit from the previous post, as it's slanderously inaccurate!
My appt was very timely, as my left arm and hand went numb just as the IV was inserted, (unrelated) but after saliene and the blood started it became normal. I kept saying to myself "let's get going, so I don't slip into needing to go to the ER and spend a few days in the hospital again." Fortunately I saw a healthy increase in blood pressure after 20 minutes (phew!)
On the way home we stopped at Safeway and stocked up on juices as I'd depleted the previous stash. Also grabbed some trail mixes to snack on as I'm almost out of the eating time restrictive Sucralfate (6 hrs between pills with 4 per day, 2hrs prior an 1hr after with no food, so it was 5am, 11am, 5pm, then 10-11pm.
It's been an effective diet plan as I'm just under 214lbs... Kidding of course. I need to put some lbs back on for future treatments.
My hope is to have a positive report after starting Keytruda this next week. Crossing everything here!
