{Touchwood!} Ma has responded well with the 'Rituximab' part of the R-CHOP regimen yesterday. She was well and had a good night sleep as well. When I came in this morning to relieve Ani this morning, Ma was sitting on the chair reading an Amar Chitra Katha comic and had had her breakfast of soup.
About 30 minutes back (at 10am) we started the next set of activities to administer the CHOP part of the regiman. She was given a few antiemetic drugs to stem the coming nausea and vomitting that may happen. She was then given a tablet that forms the P part of the CHOP - Prednisone & an injection that forms the O part of the CHOP - Oncovin. She was then started on an IV drip for the H part - Hydoxydaunorubicin (doxorubicin). This is apparently the more 'dangerous' one that will cause the side effects. Post this she will be on a drip for the C part - Cyclophosphamide and then the flush.
The R-CHOP process was completed by 7pm today and Ma has taken all this very positively. There have been no reactions till now and she will now be under observation overnight to make sure that her body does not react adversely to the chemicals.
All is well till now and she has had good dinner as well.
