Hello! 🙂 I had my NEULASTA shot today, not to be confused with NEUPOGEN. Neupogen is a shot you can get daily and what I had today was a one time shot of Neulasta. They are different shots for different things and a huge cost difference as well. The shot was nothing for me. I forgot to take meds beforehand or even Clariten like many advised…. oops 😦 The nurses were surprised at how well I was doing given I just had chemo the other day. I didn’t feel I was doing exceptionally well or anything special but I guess compared to others I suppose I can handle it better. I mean, I was tired, there for a shot I didn’t want and have a million and one things on my mind so… just what it was. The effects of the shot aren’t immediate but I had major spleen area pain today. I was on my drugs for that which really didn’t take all the pain off. Anyways, I guess I could have asked for my CA19-9 results today that were taken on Monday, but I chose not to. Honestly I didn’t think of it at the hospital but I’m thankful because I don’t think I want to know if it’s gone up, granted it’s not a huge indicator, still a direction upward is not what I want.
Having major ‘chemo brain’ yesterday I saw I wrote something about have a great Monday?? Oops!! Clearly it was Tuesday and not just any Tuesday, it was giving back tuesday! Anyone see online the #givingback going on? Well I did my ‘giving back’ as educating people about pancreatic cancer. Here is an article published by the Leesburg Today:
On a side note – I wouldn’t mind being the lucky jackpot winner 🙂 Hey… I could use a little luck this year!
Happy WEDNESDAY everyone 😉 xoxo
