Week two:
I went in yesterday for my second treatment of Mitomycin C. I got a different nurse and I have to say she was more experienced and she had fewer problems inserting the catheter. Went home and did my chicken rotisserie for about hour and a half. The evening went well with little burning when peeing, but again had a few bladder spasm and they have continued this morning. Hopefully week two will go as well as week one.
During week one, two days after my treatment, I experienced what I thought was a reaction. I’m now not sure it was. In any case, I felt extremely tired and had minor flu like symptoms (sore throat, body aches, etc.). This lasted less than 48 hours. By the weekend, my energy returned to normal and I felt good. Perhaps my reaction during week two will determine if what I felt was a reaction to the chemo. During the week I passed a few blood clots when peeing. I think that is also normal and to be expected. All in all, I feel everything is going well.
