Yesterday was a full day for me ... visit to the GP in the morning, then radiation and finally my Herceptin infusion. Everything went well until the end when the nurse pulled out the needle before she had flushed the port! That meant that she had to reinsert the needle and flush the port ... so I got stuck twice. She was mortified but I was not upset ... she got the needle in both times and didn't hurt me.
What I was more upset about was my low potassium levels. The bloody thing fell to 3.0 from the miserable 3.1 three weeks ago. I really don't understand this ... I am taking the pills and I am eating a potassium rich diet. I don't know what else to do. My potassium level has been low since my last TCH on July 28.
I will have to do some research into this and figure out why this is happening. This is not cool at all. They've doubled the dosage that I am supposed to take and I started today, so we shall see.
