Number 14 and Aren’t We Done Yet?

It’s officially cold in Rochester now.  I flew in on Sunday, October 14, to a snowstorm that lasted the rest of the day.  Snowstorms in Rochester make dining decisions very easy–eat at the hotel!  Monday was infusion #14, which was not at all exciting.  To liven things up, I decided to post a photo of daratumumab.  The medication is sensitive to light, so you get this nice brown bag over your medication.  It’s kind of a trick–you don’t really know when the infusion will end, because you can’t see into the brown bag, and the pharmacy routinely overfills it.  So it’s a guessing game, and some of the nurses are really quite competitive with me as to who will correctly guess the time of the ending of the infusion.

See?  Daratumumab.  Not too pretty, kind of blah, matches the wallpaper.

I thought about a selfie in the hospital bed.  I actually took one just to see how bad it would be, and it was beyond ugly.  So no selfies in the bed.  All is still well–it’s just cold now for the visits.  AND . . . there are only two infusions left!

    I guess stranger things have come in plain brown bags. I will be glad when you are seeing flowered, sparkly, bright -colored bags filled with presents and happy things! Of course if Daratumumab does what we hope, I will forever love plain brown bags! I love you, Mama
