Good news is....I made it through my first day, and I am kickin cancer as we speak! I spent 7 hours in the chemo room and Im pretty sure if there was a prize for the most visits to the bathroom today, I would WIN! Geeeez I lost count! ( thats the TMI part) I have a pump attached to the pick in my arm for four days with the other chemo drug in it. Its a continuous infusion. This added one more "beauty aspect" since I am wearing the pump on a strap like a man purse. AWESOME!!! :) I mean...Im already a sight to see! LOL
On a positive note: JD and I had some belly laughs today ...and my sis came by on her lunch break to visit. The time went by fairly quickly for me ( JD might say different) and I am keeping on top of my nausea meds...so I havent felt too bad today. Im tired....but that could also be from lack of sleep last night. as we get further into the week, the nurse says I will want to sleep alot of the time Im there...so I am trying to warn my chemo companions to bring lots to do....I might not be the life of the party ( Im just sayin...) but honestly...there wasnt a real rowdy crowd in there today. So...on second thought I hope I dont get kicked out of my chemo pod for too much partying!!! LOL...
I just dont feel like I can end my post without thanking ALL of the friends and family who have checked to make sureI was ok today, and sent words of support and FB messages, emails,flowers, made phonecalls, dinner, stopped by to being me gifts ( OMG)....You guys rock!!!
Love, Love.
