Had chemo yesterday (2/5/09) with nurse Donna. She put in lines to both the medial and lateral lumens of my port as I anticipated also needing magnesium again. Sure enough, I needed 4 grams of magnesium which takes at least 2 hours by itself. Took my scrapbook from the kids' surprise birthday party for me 1/31/09 and both Teri and Donna took a few minutes in their busy schedule (the outpatient chemo ward was full!!) to peruse it. Teri, whose husband is retired Army now working in the Pentagon, had asked him to get me an Army mug for my office at USNA. We have fun teasing each other around Army-Navy game time.
Had another CA125 taken to have up-to-date info for Dr. Rosenshein when Megan and I see him next Wednesday (2/11/09). It went back down 7.1 points since 1/22/09 (when it went up 8.4 pts) to bring the number to 32.6. The normal range is 0-35.
My legs started showed edema on Wednesday so Teri put me back on the diruectic Spironolactone (1 100-mg tab/day).
