Sleep and pain management have both been evasive but here and now, pain is a 4 out of 10. She had to take another trek to Santa Monica yesterday for an injection that should keep her WBC counts from crashing. If that happens, she'd have zero immune system, would be at risk of an infection which might require hospitalization for a few days of IV antibiotics. With the good things the infections does, one of the side effects is bone pain: adding insult to injury, so cranking up the pain meds a notch.
She had mild nausea earlier this morning but nothing like when she had the chemo regimes in 2014... those were brutal. In the infusion center this week she met another young woman who had the same chemo that Madi had in 2014, and has have the same chemo that Madi is on now. She said what they're taking now is a "2", compared to the toxic regimes of old being a 9-10. While all disclaimers apply, Madi seems to be tolerating the chemo here and now okay... all things considered.
