I finally got my new central line last night about 6 pm. I was told it would be in my neck, which caused me some amount of anxiety and was pleasingly surprised to find it more in my upper shoulder when I got back to my room. They started chemo at 9 pm and will give it continuously for 24 hours (Methotrexate). After which they will wait 12 hours and administer a rescue drug (Leucovorin) to mitigate the effects of the first one. I should be in the hospital about a week as they monitor me.
My WBC this morning was 63k. We're very happy!
We spent so many days waiting in the hospital, where I basically felt alright. The tension was building, so Ed brought in a game of tile rummy, which not only helped, but took us back to the early days of our marriage when we played a lot. I should start to feel bad again in a few days, but we'll hope for the best.
