Gonna get drunk here in a bit

The drug I've been waiting on is BCNU and is mixed with alcohol. I get to get drunk complete with the hangover in a little bit. I have to have 2 hours of saline first before I get the chemo, they want me going to the bathroom a lot with it to help reduce dangerous effects of the drug.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks
Beth

    two docs
    I've heard both 50 & 60 I thought, but the 2nd doc is foreign and I am afraid I may have misunderstood him. But I think I heard 60. :)

    There's no taste to this stuff dangit!

    Just wondering...
    Hi Beth,
    I was reading about your process (SCT) and was wondering when you will get the harvested cells put back in your body? I also read about the type of chemo they are giving you today and man...so much information that it's hard to process it all. The side affects seem to be relatively similar as all chemo's, so hopefully since you've done chemo before, this one won't present new problems for you that you haven't already delt with at one time or another. My prayers are with you sweetie and It will be so nice when this is behind you and you get that long term remission or better yet...60% cure. Take care and keep us as informed as possible...most of all...just be as peaceful as possible and know we all love you, very, very much and hope only the best for you! Love ya...Sue...(FNHL-2-3A-6/10)
