Another Side Effect

Of the infusions?  They pump me full of Benadryl to keep my chance of having an adverse reaction low.  But then I am wiped out the rest of the day.  

Minor, I know.   

Two things I didn't expect.  Being that cold, and being that sleepy.

And I can't sleep a wink all night

So I'm only an infrequent reader here, so I just found out about the cancer.

I had a touch of lymphoma this summer but I got better. I absolutely needed the Benadryl. My first infusion had me with a reaction and passing out.

My first indication was an asthma attack. I asked the nurse if I could use my inhaler and she was brining in the reaction kit before I finished my question.

Anyways, it's my experience that chemo is gonna wear you out with or without the Benadryl, but then, I never had trouble sleeping.

Hope your cancer gets beaten too.
