I've always liked Thursdays; I guess because the next day is Friday and the weekend is around the corner. It's even better now because I don't have any treatments on the weekend. Today I was on a different machine; it made a little more noise but presumably accomplished the same thing. I'll be on the same machine tomorrow and then it's back to good old #97.
I decided to visit Gary, Dr. Beadle's nurse as I was feeling a little nauseus this morning. I don't think it's good to be nauseous after only two treatments but I was told it is fairly common and was given a prescription for some anti nausea pills and one for its side effect, constipation.
I headed over to Walgreen's to get the prescription filled and was shocked when the pharmacist told me the cost was $104.00. That was for 12 pills. I have decided I will sleep through my Morning Sickness. Well, actually I can't do that because I changed my Radiation appointments to 8:00. Oh well, the nurse did say that the nausea should go away but I didn't ask when.
Tomorrow I have an appointment with the nutritionist. Dr. Beadle told her she would have a challenge since I am a vegan. I'm anxious to hear what she has to say.
I guess I'll go drink some water and do my mouth exercises.

I assume that was zofran and yes that is an expensive drug. There is the less expensive phenergan but it will make you sleepy.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you are already feeling the effects of the radiation. I will try to research some non-medication alternatives for nausea.
It was a pleasure to speak with you this evening. Feel free to call anytime (before 10pm) :)
