Day 1 of chemo today, Marcel took me to my appt for 1:00pm. We got there a little early so we sat in the waiting room. I felt really anxious while I was sitting there. Then they called me in and reality started to hit as we walked by all the stations to my station #8. Eileen my nurse was awesome she was so nice and caring. I sat in the chair and she explained all my medications to me and we went over some info. Then she set up my IV through my port. I iced it before but it is still very tender from surgery friday, so it hurt when she hooked it up.
I had a bit of a meltdown sitting in the chair while I was waiting for the pharmacist to mix up my chemo drugs. I think all of a sudden reality hit for me everything had worked up to this day. (sigh) Then she brought over the 2 drugs, the first one is as red as kool-aid. The second drug is just clear and takes about 45 minutes to run into my system. We were done by 3:00pm and headed home, well a short detour to Dwight and Michele's then home.
It's 7:20pm and I am still feeling pretty good, I like to call my treatment cocktail hour because I feel like I have had a few bevvies. :)
Talk to you later
