Appt with Dr. Norman for an ommaya chemo administration. Checked lots of blood rates, explained my rectal pains. We left at 4 pm with more meds and shots of inpugen to be taken every day to raise my white blood counts. About 8 pm I was in the bathroom screaming in pain (diarrhea) every 2 hours and through the night. Finally, about 5am I told my mom that I just couldn't stand it any more. She woke my dad up and he rushed me, literally, to St Joe's. I don't know how he didn't get a ticket or into an accident! M;y husband met us at the ER and couldn't figure out how dad beat us here. We spent all day in an exam room testing pain pills. I was too scared to attempt any more BM's. I was admitted to St Joes for 6 days. Very tough days.
