Chemotherapy
I had another chemotherapy treatment this past Tuesday, February 28. About ten minutes into my infusion, my entire head suddenly felt super hot. I dinged the bell (the nurse had given me) to alert her that I was having a "reaction" to the medication. Several people showed up to help. One nurse said my head looked like a tomato (it was so red). I was given an intravenous solution of hydrocortisone. It's an anti-inflammatory and it made the heat subside in about twenty minutes. After that my normal chemo infusion began again.
Today I have joint and muscle aches and pains and pain in my gut area. This has happened before and is a side effect of the chemotherapy. It should go away in about four or five days.
My hair is about 95 percent gone now. I wear a hat in public. My sense of taste is diminished as has my appetite.
