Oncology called yesterday and my doctor was off and will not be in this morning, so chemo is on hold till I can see her and get the ok for it. They had just gotten my pathology on the MRSA. They scheduled me for 1:45 today. Right at naptime. :) Once she clears me, more than likely they said I will be scheduled for Friday morning.
Wondering how long chemo drugs stay in your system after you've finished. Having last weeks put on hold I thought I'd be dancing in joy and happiness feeling good this week. lol Maybe its the MRSA. I guess I've actually only had 2 full days and one that first night of new correct drug for it. I DID read on other peoples blogs, chemo patients, that had gotten MRSA, have a difficult time with repeat infections with it, one poor lady had it 11 times! YIKES! BUT, I also read one recommendation of swabbing your nose daily with Neosporin or Bacitracin makes a HUGE difference. That is DEFINATLY on my list to ask doctor and supply up on!!! :) New goal is to get rid of this and keep it from returning. I now wipe the toilet seat with Lysol wipes every time after I use it to keep anyone else in this house from getting it. Made me think about the cancer center where I get my chemo. There are no wipes in there bathroom and no toilet seat covers. And no doctor had warned me of this possibility. I wonder how many patients in there may have it and are too embarrassed to ask the doctor about it. hmmm I believe I've been carrying this from first round of chemo almost 2 mths when I told her about it after first chemo and SHOWED her it and she gave me wrong meds. :/ I have am not one to be embarrassed to mention something if it's making me sick but others may be.
Ahh live and learn. :) Focus on keeping healthy and making certain changes. Off to start my day! I plan to make it a good one! God Bless!
