Go figure

I scheduled my chemo nice and early but my creatnin is up. Sooo I have to have iv for 2 hours, recheck creatnin, then if it is good, order chemo, the pharmacy is always slow soooooo I did not save any frigging time at all here. I will still get out late in the afternoon, and then I have to take the gross medicine 8 hours after so I will stay up really late to take this nasty medicine that tastes like airplane glue amd a moldy basement smells. Yuck! It is called mezna and it is like $1000 a dose. I hope my kidneys are ok because this chemo is my only option and if it is damaging the kidneys well..... Figure it out. It is always something at the infusion center. I guess this drug is stronger and more precautions have to be taken = more time!
It's not like I have a ton of other things I need to be doing besides killing cancer but you Guys know how hyper I am. Sitting for 9 hours is torture.
Ok cross your fingers or pray that the drugs are not damaging my kidneys and bladder and that the iphosfamide (sp) continues to work!
