…ta da da da, ta da da da da<\/p>\n
Ta da da da, ta da da da da da daaaaa. (I do hope you know this legendary tune?)<\/p>\n
Well, musical anthems aside, today was my final dose of Velcade. The second chemo drug that I have been having alongside Dara, for, what feels like forever. Amazing how time flies when you\u2019re having fun..<\/p>\n
Anyway the medical protocol is for a certain number of doses, and I\u2019ve had \u2018em all. Celebrated it with three Bourbon biscuits as I waited for treatment today, I am WILD.<\/p>\n
So the good news is, it\u2019s Dara only, monthly still, till probably December, when Prof will discuss next options, if there are any. A very welcome break from the three weeks a month of Velcade hassle, hours at the Dark Side, steroids, sleepless nights, red face, mega munchies and gabbling like an idiot.<\/p>\n
My worry though, is that Dara is reportedly best in combination with a second drug, and now I am only on one.<\/p>\n
And the only additional new drug I keep hearing about is Ixa, which only comes in bloody unhelpful capsule format. Which, despite trying for decades now, I still can\u2019t swallow. <\/p>\n
(Did I post about my abortive attempt to get hypnosis to \u2018cure\u2019 this problem? Suffice to say, not exactly successful, sigh..)<\/p>\n
Anyway, here\u2019s to no more Velcade jabs and resulting bruises all over my stomach. And to the imminent invention of some powerful, teeny tiny magic MM tablets ever so soon. Please! X <\/p>\n
