    Well, had a severe and negative reaction to my first infusion with this round. I think I would have preferred Anaphylaxis, at least it would have been an immediate reaction.
    Scabs developed and exploded over my face, head, down my trunk, stopping just shy of the belly button. Some internal to nose and felt like throat. Not sure what is going to happen tomorrow, or if it is time for the EOL, quality of life discussion.
    Also a mess up with my meds, as they weren't marked for the dosage, so I was at least taking less, not too much. Then a call Friday, which makes me think either the meds were not approved, or the left hand has no clue what the right hand is doing.

    Now I wish I had let the cats go to Kelly Clarkson, as that was the direction they were headed. B-i-l had a severe allergic reaction, which means I may have to find another home for them. I may not have a lot of time to do that.
    Then there are strong financial issues that I expect I may face as soon as tomorrow (continue on, or have some kind of estate to leave behind to help the next generation), as even if I started winning again, it doesn't mean this won't spread to a more fatal section.
    This is a winding road, just not sure how long.

    I am so sorry to hear this TMS. That is a really awful reaction to the infusion.

    That sounds just awful TMS. I hope it settles down very soon..
    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!

    I am so sorry, TMS! Those are hard decisions you have to make. I hope they can get you out of the discomfort caused by this chemo treatment fast.
