Five down–eleven to go!

Yesterday’s Round #5 was a walk in the park.  Pretty much.  I got the concentrated version of the daratumumab (500 ml vs. 1000 ml), so the infusion process was significantly shorter.  Although check-in was still 6 AM, we didn’t get the party started until close to 7:40 AM, what with the vitals checks, the IV stick, and the prep of the daratumumab.  But once things started moving, they moved really quickly, and I walked out of the hospital at 12:15 PM.  So of course I celebrated with a large order of McDonald’s fries.  Right–who wouldn’t?

Have I mentioned that currently my only side effect is fatigue?  The pesky nausea is gone, possibly thanks to the peppermint tea from my sweet friends in Austin.  And that meant that fudge was fair game after the fries.

All that food required a (slow) stroll in the park.  Olive came, too.  Here we are–I am dutifully avoiding direct sun, which one of my meds does not enjoy.  As you can see, all’s well.

Sometimes we walk.  Sometimes we sit.
