Day -5 "The Shakes"

HGB 117
WBC 1O830
PLT 288

Night of the shakes! I was getting scared that something wasn't right. I was shaking so hard that they call in two other doctors to do a Neuro consult on me. These two knew their stuff and told me they had me on Dilanta for no good reasons but concluded that the Bulsfin was the culprit of my shakes. Yes, after the last bag went in the shakes went a ways and I was able to sleep for the most part of the day. I'm on clear liquids but that is coming up as well. I have been more sick with the Etoposide but I have just been trying to maintain, not throwing up all the time.

Hanging in there. will let you know more tomorrow. Heading to bead,
