Mom started infusions of cytarabine and etoposide today. Due to the late start yesterday, she was up most of the night/morning for the carmustine infusion, chest x-ray, 3:30 am blood samples and frequent visits from the nurse. They are trying to gradually adjust her schedule so that that the chemo infusions can be provided during the day as would normally be done and then hopefully allowing time for less interrupted sleep during the night
She's feeling fine so far, just a little on the tired side due to lack of sleep from the scheduling. She had two rounds of cytarabine and etoposide today which should finish up around 2 am. Hopefully, she will be able to sleep through most of the infusions and get some rest. The plan is to repeat this same infusion routine for the next 3 days.
We'll let you know if anything changes over the next few days.
