Well, today I had my first of four Taxol treatments. I was particularly nervous because it is a chemo drug that is highly allergenic. It is administered very slowly (over four hours) so they can monitor any possible drug reactions.
They watch you like a hawk for any hives, redness, itching, difficulty breathing, sudden death (LOL), etc. Any indication of a bad reaction and they are standing by and prepared to 'reverse' the drug at a moments notice!
Thanks in large part to God, I seem to be accepting the drug, and thanks in small part to massive doses of steroids and Benadryl! Yawn!!!
After my marathon treatment, I filmed my oncologist's reaction to this apparent success....
