    Hope for the Best

    Good luck with the treatment.  At this stage wishful thinking is not a bad idea.

    My first infusion went well.

    My first infusion went well. Now I just wait for the side effects to creep up. Yet another nerve racking stage of the process.

    Second infusion next week

    The first week after my first infusion was fine. The second brought tiredness and gastrointestinal issues. Cry

    This week has been more normal. But I am so itchy! No idea if its the meds or the MN state bird (mosquitos).

    Not sure if I should expect the same sort of cycle next go round or if things will get progressively worse. We’ll see.

    I'm undergoing the same

    I'm undergoing the same treatment. At fisrt I was really tired and very itchy. I just finished the agressive part of the treatment and now I will receive treatments once a month. For me personally the gastro symptoms and itchiness did go away I occasionally have rough patches on my skin however with moisturizing lotion it's no big deal. I wish there was something I could do to help you. I have 2 teens and 2 toddlers so the big kids are a big help. I also have a husband that is very helpful. I'm also wishing for my cancer to melt away. I will be praying for healing and strength so you can weather this storm and take care of your sweet babies.
