Today was a long day. Started with a final meeting with my Dr. before getting started on trial drugs. Quick chat a review of data. Spoke with research coordinator and confirmed participation. She wanted to make sure I knew I had the option to quit at any time.
Did a final pre trial blood draw and left the IV in for the additional draws they would be doing the rest of the day. Reported to Clinical trials unit and got a nice little room for the next 7 hours. Started pre medication with a large dose of benedryl (50mg) and some other premeds I don't recall. That much benedryl typically makes people drowsy and I was no exception. I stayed awake for them to access my port and infuse the Ramucirumab (505 mg) for an hour. Shortly after that I dozed for a couple hours, waking only for a couple blood draws. They kept doing blood draws every hour until late. After the last one they sent me on my way, but I have to come back for more draws over the next couple days.
