Wow, this weekend sucked.
Thursday night, after getting home from Thanksgiving dinner, my son Steven started projectile vomiting. Huge mess, including our brand new sectional sofa. Wouldn't eat on Saturday, but then neither would I, as apparently I caught the same thing. My entire lower GI felt on fire. I got the other end of things as an issue, and couldnt (wouldn't) eat or drink anything.
The scary part was around 7PM, when we checked my temperature and I had a fever of 100.8 (over the "magic" number of 100.4). Called the on-call doc, and he said to take some Tylenol and call back if it goes over 101.5. Given what happened after treatment 1, we have no idea if I'm neutropenic or not so it was a bit nerve-wracking. Happily, following Tylenol and since the temp has gone down, and my gut problems have subsided (although I still have some residual pain).
Ugh, so much for a "good" week before Thursday's next treatment. We stop in tomorrow morning to make sure I'm not neutropenic (before I go to work), then hopefully get treatment 3 on Thursday.
On the bright side, my collarbones and neck (both sides) now appear "normal". Another good sign.
