I was really tired today. This week took it out of me and I ended up working on a project all day that had to be done today.
Am I sick, or unintentionally masochistic? Maybe both?
But better to do it at home rather than at the office.
I got a call from the folks managing the clinical trial and I am in arm A which is simply the oral drug. At least I only have one set of side effects to deal with. I visit the doctor on Wednesday and pick up my drugs.
Another name for lenalidomide is revlimid which I think sounds so much less like thalidomide. It is described on some miscellaneous web page as: "immunomodulatory agent," and an "antiangiogenic agent". Just what that means is beyond me.
Naturally I Googled and this is the first web page I found: Chemo Care.
That is a pretty scary web page. The side effects sound a lot like the ones I've had from the infusions except I might have a clot or bleed to death.
FYI: Revlimid
It's good that I'm only on one drug because two might kill me.
