So far so good on my
adventure on the clinical trial ABT-199 to help get my Leukemia under
control. And all with little side
effects.
No nausea what so ever.
But the first few days
after I took the first pill I experienced a little light headiness, (a little
like having chemo brain
for those of you who know what this like), along with a mild head ache. But
this went away last Friday the 23rd , which as of then I have
actually been starting to feel better.
One thing I know is that I
have not been able to eat as much as I usually do even though my appetite has
been good, as I get a fuller feeling faster.
Could be it has to do with
some tumor lysis filling my spleen up with dead cells? As if it wasn’t swollen enough already!
Oh well, I am the first to
admit I can stand to loose 10 to 15 pounds!
Week two on this trial starts
tomorrow Monday November 26th.
I will go in for blood
work/labs at 1:00 PM Pacific time, then I see the P. A. and the trial
coordinator at 2:00 PM, where they will look at the most recent labs and
compare them to the previous labs taken both before, during and the days after
the first pill to calculate my next dosages of the medication.
Then I will most likely be
leaving there with the weeks worth of meds to take at home. I also go back in on Tuesday and Wednesday of this coming week for additional blood work/labs.
Then I’ll get to do this all over again on Monday December 3rd.
Looking forward to getting
this show going on a regular basis now!
