Intrathecal chemo today

Print Friendly and PDF
Katie arrived at the hospital at 7 am expecting to start the procedure at 9 am. The doctor apparently did not write the correct orders for the chemo drug or anesthesia for the procedure. Katie finally was taken back to get started at 10 am. She had to do this without any anesthesia just lidocaine. During the procedure the did hit a nerve and it was very painful and sent several shocks down her leg making her leg jump. Kinda like hitting your funny bone. Well they pushed through it and Katie did well. She is in recovery now laying flat for 2 hours. Katie is very ready to leave the hospital now and go eat at Cheddars! I know she is back to normal when she starts talking about food! Lol.

Next round of chemo should start Dec 27th, after the Christmas holidays if she can stay well by then. If anything happens between now and Dec 27th I will try to make a new post. Sorry for the long delay.
