42 Weeks of Chemotherapy

By: Nick Mendez|April 15, 2003|Posted in: Hospitals, Treatments

chemopump1The plan is for me to receive chemotherapy once a week for a year. I started April 11, 2003. I get two kinds of treatment. The first kind of chemotherapy is given to me at the doctor’s office once a week through my central line (they give me a drug called Vincristine). The second kind of chemo is given to me in the hospital every 3 weeks (Vincristine, Actinomycin-D, Cyclophosphamide). I go to the hospital because this chemo is very strong. Although the chemotherapy kills the cancer, it is very hard on my body. I get very sick and need IV fluids to help flush out the medicine after it is used.
