4th Abraxane infusion in the books. 3 to go from here. Fastest visit to the oncology center EVER. Bestie Maaya joined me for this round and we were in and out in 2 hours. WIN. Never really imagined us spending the first day of spring break together in a chemotherapy infusion room. We've traveled the world together and had some pretty crazy times over the last 10 years. The 30's have really put a damper on our vacays. Although, I did show my boobs to the nurse practitioner for an exam today, so that should count for something, right?! Spring Break 2015 can only go up from here :)
It's pretty amazing how potent this tiny little drop of medicine is that they give me (only takes 30 minutes to administer and looks like a drop of milk in a bag)...because it's protein bound, it absorbs into the body very quickly and efficiently unlike the more toxic cremophor bound paxlitaxel I was taking before that took forever and is mixed into a much larger volume of liquid. Basically get the same drug with the same outcomes regarding cancer treatment from both. Crazy. I was pretty worn out today, barely breathed a word to Maaya (except to tell her to go find a magazine or something if she was bored because I wasn't going to be talking to her) from the time I got
in the comfy infusion chair to the time she got me back in my front door
when it was all over.
WIN the day
