Back in Houston

I'm in a hospital room waiting for a telemetry room to become available. The telemetry room is where the Sunesis drug will be infused. Due to possible side effects, of which they have had none to date, they infuse the drug while you are constantly monitored. That is telemetry, automatic and constant monitoring. The infusion will last 6 hours and 15 minutes plus set up time and disconnect time. So that is probably an 8 hour process. Subsequent infusions don't have to be monitored like this, just the very first one. It's 11:45 a.m. now so it looks like this is still going to be a very long day.

The GvHD cleared up last week, although there is still a little here and a little there. But I can keep that under control with the Tacro pills and the steroid cream and mouth rinse. The GvHD flared up after the chemotherapy a few weeks ago. They warned me that might happen. I wonder if it will try to flare up after the Sunesis drug infusion. Nobody really knows.

I'll post more tomorrow after we see how the infusion goes.
