Chemo

This post is a little late.

The BCNU dose of chemo was given over three hours and is reconstituted with alcohol, so I ended up getting a pretty good buzz off of it.

Now, I'm getting my dose of ARA-C followed by Etoposide. Both are one hour infusions with a flush in between. The nausea started shortly after my second dose of Etoposide.

My Meds:
  • Zofran 8mg every 8 hours for nausea.
  • Allopurinol 300mg in the AM to protect my kidneys from chemo
  • Bactrim DS twice a day to prevent pneumonia
  • Remeron 30mg for sleep
  • Lorazepam 1-2 mg every 4 hours as needed for anxiety and nausea.
  • Ambien 5-10mg for sleep
  • Compazine 10mg every 6 hours for nausea
