Chemo Treatments
Here are photos of the chemo treatments that I have had to endure. Chemo has to be one of the most barbaric forms of medicine. I Can Not Believe That This Is The Way To A Cure…
My first chemo treatment. I was very scared. The nure was nice, and tthe procedure itself tolerable, but the chemo was Horrible. 11 Photos My first Neulasta injection. Relatively painless, though I was feeling like crap already. The wound from the port-a-cath surgery had developed a hematoma, and the nurse had to squeeze the excess blood and fluid out of the wound. That was pretty painful. 5 Photos This was my second treatment of the A/C combo (Adriamycin, aka Red Devil, and Cytoxan) 22 Photos This is the injection that puts white blood production into overdrive and results in fairly significant bone and joint pain. I would get this injection the day after each chemo treatment. The cost was $2600/per injection. 6 Photos Mom insisted and the result was over $2000. I was "fine", just dealing with the Neulasta reaction of very severe bone and joint pain with fever. 5 Photos This was my third treatment of the A/C combo (Adriamycin, aka Red Devil, and Cytoxan) 19 Photos This was my fourth treatment of the A/C combo (Adriamycin, aka Red Devil, and Cytoxan).
Mom was busy talking with another lady who was going through breast cancer, so we only got this one shot... I was also getting tired of the photos. It was becoming too hard to hide the pain and despair I was feeling. This was the day I made my decision to forgo further chemo and explore gene therapy. 1 Photos
