On Wednesday I sat in the chemo chair for my first round of trodelvy. The formal name is sacituzumab so my nurse calls it sassy. I like it!
The first time they drip it really slow to make sure I don’t have an allergic reaction and they pumped me full of Benadryl. I had a conference call about 30 minutes after they pushed the Benadryl and that was tough. I felt like my tongue was too big in my mouth and couldn’t focus on anything. Luckily it didn’t last long and I think I got through my call without sounding drunk. Maybe. Ha ha!!
The good news is that I didn’t have a reaction and so far, I’m in good shape. Today is day 3 (day 1 of no post-chemo meds) and I’m feeling fairly normal. Maybe a little tired. I was able to make thanksgiving dinner with help from my parents and Dan plus we went shopping yesterday. Today I did the weekly grocery shopping, made cookies and 4 pizzas before the firetruck parade…which I watched from inside. Not bad for post chemo days.
I’ll go back for round 2 on Tuesday and then I’ll have a week off. The timing works out perfect as my next off week is Christmas.
Lucy was very interested in all the activity.
Ryan was outside with friends, but Tyler did his usual hangout in his room. But, even he’s headed out to meet friends tonight.
It’s been a nice long weekend and my heart is full. Tomorrow I will rest.
