Round 8 went well especially since there was no port. They did put in a PICC line that stayed in till after Round 9, but it was painless and made all the necessary access easy. FYI - a PICC line is like an IV in that it goes into your arm. However, it is a tube that is insterted and fed thru your arm up to your chest and into an artery close to your heart. Round 8 was my last inpatient stay for chemo. The hospital staff were lots of fun and even made me a poster. It was kinda of sad leaving on the last day.
Best part of this round my counts were stable and no fever, ambulance ride, or blood transfusion!
Between Round 8 and Round 9 was Homecoming. It was a great event and I am fortunate that I was healthy enough to be able to go, with my nurse Cindy's ok :)
