Going home!
I made it through 5 days of ESHAP! I am all packed and ready to go -- just waiting for the doctor to sign me off :)
It was definitely different from ABVD but thanks to nurses and all the wonderful staff they made it more bearable that if I were to do it home alone. Iwas nauseous and sleepless for 3 nights even with sleeping pills... and my tastes buds are all altered; I am all swollen and my face is round and pink but that's expected with all the steroids I got. For 2 days I retained so much liquid and gas that I ached all over. I could not lay down, turn, sit -- it was bad and I am glad it's all over now! I am so happy to get a break for 2 weeks before I have to do this again.
Thank you for all the prayers, calls and e-mails -- they come when I need them most!!!
