Last week was not a great week, nothing bad happened, it was just that for my work week I couldn't seem to stay awake past about 10:30 am on any day so I didn't get a lot of working hours in. I would get up, go to work and begin my day and then run out of steam by mid-morning and have to come home. Dr. Te suggested I play around with when I take the Dex to see if I could get a couple of good days so that is what I'm trying this week by taking it Sunday night before I went to bed - I may need to back that up a little since I'm up at 4:00 writing this blog.
I completed the first cycle of the Revlimid yesterday and will be off it until next Saturday when I begin the second cycle. I definitely have more side effects, fatigue, heart burn and they seem to be some what cumulative as the cycle runs on so I'm really looking forward to this week to try to get back close to normal before starting the next cycle. I don't know what the combination of being off cycle and coming off the Dex on Wednesday will do to me, guess I'll have to wait and see.
I'm scheduled to get a full blood panel this week to see how the first cycle of Revlimid is doing for me, we're all hoping it's making progress on the right things, so that after a couple more cycles I'll be ready for the transplant.
