So today is Tuesday 9/8/09 and it is the second day of chemo. I am feeling surprisingly good. this round of chemo is a little different from any of the other three. I am getting one called are-C which I have had before, and a second drug called fluderabene (have no idea how to spell that), which is one I have not had before, and the last one is a drug called mylotarg, it is a nasty drug and has some pretty yucky side effects. I had a dose of this drug in Alb. with the second round of chemo and it was not fun. It gave me uncontrollable chills and made feel pretty bad. So Geoff was concerned and wasn't looking forward to it. But I am super excited to say that it went well. The nurse we had was really great and said a little prayer when she saw the orders for it and came in and said it will be fine, and they gave me some demeral(spelling?) before they started the drug and then again an hour into the drug and I slept and had none of the same side effects. The nurse was so great and said see my God is good. Isn't that the truth! Our God is good.
Thank you Lord for little miracles and for your amazing love and comfort. I pray in Jesus name Amen.
And again thank you all for your prayers and thoughts and gifts and love and support. We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends. We couldn't be so strong without each and everyone of you so we thank God everyday for his amazing grace and love to allow us to know all of you!
With all my love! May God bless,
Randi =)
You are such a strong lady, Miss Randi. With God's grace and mercy you will beat this. My love to you, Geoff, and the Boys. Lizie
ReplyDeleteRandi,
ReplyDeleteIf your going to be a doctor you need to know how to spell to be able to write RX for your patients you almost spelled it correct it's fludarabine and demerol. I looked them up I wanted to see what was said about the RX Demerol is the good stuff that makes all the pain go away (I had that a few weeks ago when I broke my finger) and Fladarabine is highly effective in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Key words "highly effective in the treatment". We Love you girl keep up the fight everyone at home is on your side waiting for you to get home oh yeah don't forget to bring Geoffrey with you when you leave there lol. Love Auntie Stella
It is so cool to see GOD work! and to know it is all about him!Praying for you and Geoff and the family!
