I GOT A FLU SHOT TODAY!!!!!!!


I CAN DO THE DANCING CHICKEN AGAIN!!



GBMC has flu shots for the high risk public. If you're not a senior citizen you need to take a doctor's note with you.

They are giving out flu shots on Thursday, October 28th and Friday, October 29th. The hours for BOTH dates are between 10:00am - 2:00pm then again between 6:00pm - 8:00pm.

Go to the main entrance of the hospital. Once in the lobby turn left and go to elevator "B". Go up to the 4th floor. Turn left out of the elevator and make an immediate right. Go down the hall to the registration area. If you're one minute late they won't give you the shot.

I found out all this information by accident today at 1:40pm. They were giving out shots today until 2:00pm. I ran out of the house and hauled butt to the hospital. I was two minutes late and was refused a shot. HOWEVER, I begged and begged and begged!! Since I had a doctor's note and was paying cash, they gave me the shot.

The shot costs $20.



After I got my shot I stopped by my oncologists office and asked for a doctor's note for Mom so she could get a flu shot also. She is able to get it since she is my primary caregiver in the event I get sick.

I found out today I may not be able to get chemo this week since I got the flu shot today. I may have to wait until next week. I will find out in the morning. I needed to get the shot last week while I was on my break week but I couldn't find anyone that had the flu shots.

As of this morning, GBMC ran out of flu shots. All times I listed have been cancelled. Unfortunately Mom didn't get her flu shot.

I was able to get chemo today even though I had the flu shot yesterday.

TODAY WAS MY 45TH TREATMENT!!!


My doctor decided to reduce the dosage of my chemo drug (Gemzar aka Gemcitabine) from 2 grams to 1.7 grams from here on out. He's doing this because the Gemcitabine has been dropping my platelet count by the third treatment during the last few rounds. I will continue on the same regiment of once a week for three weeks then a week off for a break.
