dacogen, first treatment over
Hi All,
Just wanted to update you my husbands first round of treatments of dacogen. He took 5 days of it last week. Wednesday the third day was very tireing for him, they also gave him 2 units of blood. He slept most of that day and night. Thursday he was still real weak. Feeling a little stronger Friday.
Monday he drove hiself to the clinic for a blood test and was able to go to the grocery store to pick up a few things. We have not heard from the blood test , but have seen on the computer that his doctor has scheduled him for a treatment next Monday after his office visit. I assume that this will be for more blood.
So far the only problem he has had is constipation. This is Tuesday the week after the first series of treatments.
Would love to hear from anyone on these treatments.
I was surprised to read the post from Rob as my husband had surgery for skin cancer this summer. Strange isn't it?
