This morning was supposed to be a very quick dose of
Vincristine for about an hour and then another free day. (I’ve had it before
without side effects so hopefully I can handle today’s). There was a delay
because it arrived late and my PICC line into my arm is blocked (having my
bloods taken manually with a needle really made me appreciate how great a PICC
line is)
By 2pm the
Vincristine had arrived and my line was clear and my bloods were good. So, with
nothing else medical for the day I went and ate cake up the garden. An
enjoyable sunny day and reasonably relaxing despite the shadow of methotrexate
looming.
Vincristine is a vinca alkaloid and works by
stopping the cancer cells from separating into 2 new cells.
