I will look for them. Ive been to the hospital almost every day for the last two weeks.. Im there from 8;00 am to sometimes 3;00 or 4:00 pm. Got the chemo with very little side effects. But have to go to get hydrated Im not sure what's all in those two two leader bags. But I do get a little weak. I had a port put in a few weeks ago so they just have to plug in to it each day. Each sat they remove the needle from the port. Put in a new one when I go back. When I go back I have to put Lidocaine 3% Cream over the port and cover it with a plastic wrap. When I get there they remove it and insert a new large needle. For 10 days I hat to give myself a needle in the stomach. Even had to mix the stuff my self. When I go They will do it for me but wanted me to know to do it myself. Now I have two days off. Tuesday I go bach to see the cancer DR. Than Ill get my instructions for the following week or two. Wont get the chemo again for another week or so. My son & daughterinlaw have been great one of them takes me every day. She Keeps all my records. I would be lost without her. Thanks again for your prayers and concern. Ive gottonalot of PM's from a lot of our friends here on the hog. Feel free to pass any info you want to share.
