quite a morning at the clinic

[Mary4now]

Went in for my 14 wk. didn't feel great going in, and I ended up passing out/throwing up during my blood draw,
I dont think I"m drinking enough water, my veins arent as easy to get to.  My monitor saw it coming so he was on top of it.  He is also an EMT and I cant tell you how wonderful these people are at the clinic.  
They thought I should be feeling a bit better with the dose reduction and I am still und.  Gawd, I hope my luck continues and I get selected to stop at 16 wks.  we shall see.  AGAIN, honorable mention to all on treatment and for those who completed treatment.

sounds like a rough day but does not surprise me either. low hemoglobin and low water intake are what made me faint one day during tx too. if u dont like water try just putting an herb tea bag in the water and it gives some flavor. i dont like water but with flavor it is more tempting. like you i did the breast ca gig too so i know u are tough. hang in there mary. good luck, babs

thanks Ginger, Just what I was looking for, some tea and sympathy, the doctor said I'm doing fine, just have to deal with the low hgb and high bilirubin, they gave me some vitamins and said drink lots of water.  I really trust these people its great they care.
I'm home now, and gonna take a lavender bath, take a nap and then make some soup,
I'm gonna hang Ginger, I dont know how tuff, but I'm hangin, how are you doing?

  Gee girl, sorry you are feeling so poorly. I hope you only have to do 16 wks too. Im happy you were und at wk one, but man I wish you were having an easier go of it.  Now I dont like your drug eighter!!;-(  Just 4 making our Mary4now feel like barf!!!!
  I wonder if a I.V. of saline or superhydrator is in order 4 Mary!!! I wonder if you should try some Pedeiolite ( spelling) the stuff you give to babies and children and oldsters or adults who have dehydrated due to flu or what ever.
  Take care Mary. Feel better and HANG TUFF!  Ginger
