May. 30, 2008 - CONNIE'S OVARIAN CANCER UPDATE #5

Iʼve completed my first treatment of 2 chemoʼs and Atavin (or placebo) and every thing went very well. No side effects yet but not sleeping to well and you can see. I went to bed about 10:00 PM and woke up at midnight. I am hoping by doing a little on the computer it will tire my mind and Iʼll then head back to bed. I was at the clinic from 9:30 AM until 3:30 PM. Treatment actually started about 11:30 AM. It always takes the longest on the very first treatment, trying to get everything coordinated.  It wasnʼt too bad. I read, visited with my sister a while, we ate lunch together then she left about 1:30. I took a short nap and read some more. I am told that the next treatment will only entail labs and the Gemzar chemo and should take about an hour. That one is scheduled on the 3td of June. Piece of cake.

Then on the 17th I have all three drugs again, but the time will decrease to about 3 hours as they will be decreasing the drip time on the Avatin from 90 minutes to 60. By the time I get to the 3rd treatment on the Atavin it will have been decreased to 30 minutes and remain there as long as I can tolerate it. So of course the sessions will also decrease. 

I am curious to see how I will be reacting after a couple of days have passed. Last time that was my worst days, but so far everything feels normal.

Well, Iʼm going to work on a chart for the research group, then take a stab at sleep again.

Talk to you all soon, love and warm hugs, 

Connie Deal

I enjoy following your blog!  The Bend Oregon real estate market continues to be slow.  It looks like a good time to buy in your area.
