This is really late - Sorry!
The second IV dose of SCH was given last week on 6/19, and you would think that because of my delay in posting that it was as horrible as the first one; but, luckily it wasn't!
The dose of SCH was reduced from 45 to 30 and additional pre and post medications were added for the last IV dose. There was still a ton of nausea, I was wiped out, muscle pain, blah, blah; but, it was not as bad as the last time and that's all that matters. Most importantly, I was able to partially function (with the occasional nap). So, we're going to stick this trial out, and we're half way through the SCH IV doses before my first scan.
The oral dose hasn't given me much trouble (knock on wood), just some extra tiredness and occasional nauseousness. The appointment yesterday went well, all of my blood work is back to where it should be.
My hair is super short and is still falling out fast - which we are hoping will slow down with the dose reduction of the SCH.
UPCOMING APPTS:
Wed. July 3rd: SCH/ABT dosing
