My next velcade first cycle of treatments were on June 10, 14 & 17. My cycle was 2 weeks of treatment and one week off. Meanwhile, still taking the revilmid and dex.
The treatments went off without a hitch. My second treatment, on June 10th, I refused the kytril. The nurse looked at me like I was nuts, but complied. I told him I wanted to see how bad the nausea was and if I could handle it.
A half hour later we were on our way home.
Turned out I was sorry I had refused the kytrile. I got sick to my stomach and wasn't very happy about it. I decided from then on I take the medicine.
On the 17th the nurse suggested I get a port put in to make it easier on me getting stuck for the I.V.'s. I said ok, I'd do it. Well, they were supposed to take care of getting the order to have that done. It never happened. After talking with Vanderbilt, I'm glad it didn't. They were under the impression I was getting the injection! They want it done as an injection. So now I have to get with Dr i and get that set up. Vanderbilt said there is less chance of getting nuropothy with the injection. I'm all for that.
I guess that's the trouble with having doctors in Nashville and Knoxville. Communication isn't always what it should be.
