Pumping Iron again
I had my six month check with the oncologist last week. Everything is fine except my iron. I am back to iron infusions. I had my first drip yesterday. It took four hours for them to pump it in. I react if it goes in too fast. They load me with benedryl but it wasn't enough to stop a reaction. So for me it has to go in slow or I react. One down two to go. Then I plan on getting to the bottom of my iron absorption issue.

I bet all that Benedryl and the infusion makes you so sleepy! Are Iron supplements a long term option?
Hoping that ultimately, those iron infusions will give you more energy!
Sorry about this, Babe! I know it must be a huge pain in the patootie. Well, not literally THERE.
