Day - 3: ALT recovery and washroom craziness

A short post as I only last about 10 minutes between bathroom visits right now! Melphalan requires loads of hydration and bladder medications to try to flush the drug out without too much damage to the bladder. I am also still doing showering for the Thiotepa from yesterday and sucking on ice for the next 6 hours (to avoid blood flow to the mouth for massive mouth sores) so it's BUSY! Little sleep last night as well between all the bathroom visits with my IV pole and showering, redoing my central line dressings, bloodwork, etc. Hopefully I can get in some rest after the super-hydration period is over. The (VERY) good news is that my ALT was actually LOWER than yesterday, down to just above 2 times the upper normal limit. Quite incredible. Anyway, good work for everyone and I gotta run again to the washroom!
