Day One, Cycle One

Wow. It was kind of a tough day today. They started out today just giving me one of the drugs that doesn't have the lingering side effects, but has the immediate ones. So I kept the nurses busy between chills, aches which they counteracted with one medicine. Then the afternoon was fever, sweating, killer headache and ta-da......Throwing up in a room full of people numerous times. But everyone just looked at me like...been there done that, hang in there.....Lots of people in there wanting to share experiences. Good thing Roger was there to keep up the conversations. But I got through it. Came home and took a shower and felt better. Even my headache is gone now. I really appreciated the nurse I had. She was patient, and taught me, and was understanding and trying her best to find things to make it easier.

Tomorrow is another day. Two different chemo drugs tomorrow, but shouldn't be nearly as bad they tell me. And it should only be a few hours too. Today was very long. But one day down!!!

  1. You are such a trooper! It sounds like a pretty rough day. It also sounds like you are in good hands with Roger by your side. Hang in there. We love you!
