Round 11

7.7.25

Round 11 was smooth. We started with bloodwork and retook the Tempus ppm test as well as the Guardant Reveal blood test. Then we met with the PA. 

Since I had 2 of the Tempus PPM tests come back with slight detection we decided to re-add the Oxaliplatin to this round. So I got Irinotecan, Oxaliplatin, and I went home with the 5fu pack. While I was at the infusion center they also refilled my pump with heparin. 

As soon as it was time to leave I was already feeling the side effect. I felt really nauseous and extra sensitive to light. I got home and just wanted to lay down. The next day I felt much better. I was also expecting to have a lot of cold sensitivity from the Oxaliplatin and it was not too bad for the week. I took it easy most of the week and had a lot of help around the house so I could rest and I made food a priority which really helped with the side effects. 

Then over the weekend I got to spend some time at my friend AnnMaries house in Redondo Beach and it was so nice to get some girl time and relax. We didnt get in the car once- we walked around town (slowly lol), went out to lunch, and sat by the Beach. It was so nice.

AND big news! On Monday morning I got one of my PPM Tempus tests back that showed 0 detection. It is a relief to have it back under control but there will always be some nervousness around it showing any detection again. It is kind of a big mental rollercoaster. My biggest concern is when I am finished with my 12/13 rounds and and I take any time off Chemo again. Praying that this mop up chemo cleans up any remaining cells and they never show up again.
