My back-neck-arms have been really itchy since about Sunday. Last night hives popped out over much of my back. It doesn't really bug me unless I'm sitting still, not doing much. At night, it makes me crazy! I called my nurse, Kathy, today who thinks it's an allergic reaction to the Perjeta. I just looked at my paperwork from the hospital, and the same side effects are listed on Herceptin too. The weird thing is that it's been 13 days since Perjeta, and it hasn't happened with any other infusion. So, who knows?! I hope it clears up and goes away soon. Those are the two drugs I'm supposed to continue after I get through my 18th chemo. The plan may need to change if it comes with a rash and itching.
I actually made dinner tonight! A real dinner, and it tastes good! My neighbor shared her recipe for Pad Thai with me. She made it for us once and I loved it so much! I could taste it, it tasted like Pad Thai should taste. I'm not referring to her cooking, but my taste buds. :) It's hard for a foodie like me to have everything I eat taste weird.
I texted Marie last night to see if she could go somewhere to get chocolate with me. She's a cancer buddy from the first time around. It was a rough day/night, and I just needed to get out and forget about it. Last night was bad, but tonight was good! We went to Kneaders. In her head, we were meeting at Kneaders. In my head, for no particular reason because it hadn't been mentioned at all, she was coming to get me. So when she texted to tell me she was there, but I couldn't see her car anywhere, there was a bit of confusion! After some good laughs, I got in my car and went to Kneaders. We were there for 2 hours, talking and laughing and venting about various things. And when you're there at closing, they give you free things! I'm so grateful she had some time tonight and we could do that. I need to get out of the house and feel normal. Thanks Marie!
