My the other First - Chemotherapy - 1/8

First chemo treatment. October 16, 2009 - The Whole process were very long, the first time last around 7-1/2 hours. To past time were either sleeping or watch TV if I have some energy


First day of Chemtherapy treatment at 2351 Clay 6th floor, rm 88, bed
51, RN Marianna Dugenvy. There has not been a prescription written by
Dr Chan and the nurse has contacted Dr Chan. Ciaplatin is the type of
chemotherapy being introduced. A dose of potassium is also to be added
due to the low potassium count. Nurse asked question about nausea and
Dr Chan prescribed meds but Lulu wishes not to take it due to a past
experience. BP 134/84. Let other doctor know of current meds as they
may offset other perscriptions.

The Nurse informed that th blood count will drop and can cause one to
feel week and also the white count will drop and weaken immune system.
Hydration is being given for about two hours to prep body for the
harshness of the chemotherapy before the chemo starts.

Cancer Navigation is a group similar to a help desk.
A precautionary letter was given to inform care provider means of
protecting themselves from chemotherapy patients. Fluids from patient
are more severe during the 48 hours after treatment. Clothes and
bedding need double washing with hot water. Toilets should no be
shared during the treatment period.

Dr Ed Chan arrived at Lulu's cubicle to check up and to provide the
Nurse with the prescibed dosage.

Central line fed: D5W/0.45 NaCl, 500 ml KCl 20 MEQ/500 ml; Ondansetron
IVPB 16 MG, over 15 min; Dexamethasone sodium phosphate 10 mg D5W 50
