Third Immunotherapy Treatment

Today was my third immunotherapy treatment. It’s a bit of drive to the hospital and then back again, about two hours if there are no delays. It is not really a visually interesting drive either since it is around 98% interstate driving. I think I’m going to have to figure out how to keep myself from getting bored so I don’t accidentally stop paying attention as I drive this several times over the next year. I certainly don’t want to have an accident at interstate speeds. Maybe I’ll pull out some CD’s or audio books to listen to during the drive.

Everything went well again this time. Thankfully I didn’t have to wait around in the treatment room nearly so long as I did last time. They managed to move me around between labs pretty quickly so I didn’t wait long in any one place. However, they did have a bit of a difficult time sticking me in a vein this time, so I ended up with three punctures by the end of it all, ugh. They do their best to be gentle, but repeated attempts are not very much fun for someone who really doesn’t like needles. But, on the bright side, once again I haven’t experienced any noticeable side effects so barring something unforeseen, it appears I should be able to reasonably expect that the remaining treatments next year should go by without me experiencing any negative side effects. 🙂
