Another week of chemotherapy.

I just have had another week of chemotherapy session today with a 400 mg of Cetuximab. Compared to the earlier weeks, this week has been a relatively quick process with my admission at around 11:30 AM and getting discharged around 3 PM. Usually, the oral report of the blood test will be awaited and the chain of events is something like this on a typical chemotherapy session:

(1) 10:00 AM - Submit blood sample for CBC (Complete Blood Count) to the Laboratory, which is in the 2nd floor of the hospital.

(2) 12:30 PM - One of the sisters takes an oral report of the blood test
(3) 12:45 PM - If the blood counts are good (i.e., within limits prescribed), then admission into a recliner room (Room No.158 in 3rd floor)

(4) 1:30 PM - Chemotherapy drugs, to be administered, will get delivered to the recliner room on my name

(5) 1:45 PM - IV (Intra-venal) infusion of the drugs start

(6) 3:15 PM - Infusion ends and the billing process starts with the attending sister sending the activity card to the Billing Department

(7) 4: 00 PM - Bill gets paid, discharge summary ready and discharge gets complete

Any of the above steps might get delayed due to some unpredictable reasons! (Ahem..Murphy's Law!) But, today, it has been a perfect timed process! An unusual thing to happen usually :D
