Linda's Lymphoma update 5-24-11

That dreaded nausea and vomiting from cisplatin is rearing its ugly head. According to the oncologist, it may last up to a week after the infusion of the drug.

Well Linda has had it the last 2 days - horrible nausea and some vomiting.

Fortunatley, meclizine and reglan seem to be helping.

She has started the daily Neupogen shots again and has had 2. She is still pain free (thanks be to God), but in previous episodes, the bone pain from the Neupogen starts after about a week of shots. So we will see.

Tomorrow is our consult at Methodist Hospital for the BMT (Bone Marrow Transplant), but because her marrow is full of lymphoma, she will likely get a stem cell transplant. We will find out tomorrow.
