It's weird. You feel a little sorry for yourself for weeks. Why me Blah blah...Every time the scary stuff is behind you. Until the next scary thing. Yesterday was day one of chemo and I was a little nervous. I have heard all the stories. Some make it easy and some make you wanna freak out. Can they find the porta cath and access it easily? I heard horror stories about this one. Luckily for me, I had no problems at all. They found it right away and pain free. The drugs drained slow but worth it. I felt fine the whole time. Tanya went with me and played with me the whole time. We laughed, giggled to stories, played cards. Not bad to spend the day. You have to pee a lot. I guess it's the fluids. So I got to parade around with my fancy IV. I really pimped it well. I do need to work on the layered look. Troy came in and brought Chick Fil la. Turns out I need fashion advice more than chemo. After about 5:15 hours, I was on the way home. Still feeling good. I got home and took a little walk. It was a nice day after all.
I go in today for the shot that will boost my white blood cell count. I hear that this might make me feel like I have the flu but I'm not worried. I have drugs for that, too. PLus, I like to nap so that will be my excuse for napping the next few days. I'll probably use this alot to get out of doing lame stuff.
Ok, Getting ready to get my stinky but in the shower, take a long walk and gear up for another needle poke. To get to the finish you always have to start :)
BTW ... if chemo keeps you well and helps you to grow old and look after your poor old Aunt, I'm all for for it, SO LET'S ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
