Overall, it was uneventful. It was a long day (6 hours). Started with a shot of Bendryl, then a bag of Aloxi (to prevent possible nausea), then the 800 mg of Erbutix, a bag of calcium/magnesium, the Oxaliplaten, and then another bag of calcium/magnesium.
Ed didn't seem to have any negative reaction during the treatment and none after we got home. He did not "test" the cold sensitivity (stayed with drinking room temperature liquids and had no need to go into the refrigerator). We'll see how he does today and this weekend.
He will be going back weekly for the Erbutix (about a 1-2 hr infusion) and bi-weekly will be the Oxaliplaten as well. Future sessions should only be about 4 hours long since yesterday they had to go slowly to keep an eye on Ed but since he did well, they can probably speed up the drip slightly next time.
Thankfully an uneventful, but long day...
