Let's Kill Some Cancer

I had my first chemo treatment on Monday, Oct 26. I was planning to go by myself - after all, I can do this. But Richard had other plans. He called me at 8:00 to tell me he would be picking me up. So off we went to the Cancer Killers to start my Plan Nine From Murrells Inlet.
First, they took some blood. They are always taking blood. It is a good thing our bodies make more as I would be out of it by now. Then, I was seated in this nice recliner type chair. The nurse explained everything to me step by step. The port is the place where everything goes. First, she checked it to make sure we had the vein. Then, I was given anti-nausea stuff through the IV. After that was done, she injected the red chemo into my iv. This took about 3-5 minutes. Then, I had another chemo in a drip bag that was also in the IV. All this took about an hour and a half.
Believe it or not, it did not hurt. In fact, I felt great afterwards. Richard and I went to lunch.
I was tired but think it was because I really did not sleep the night before. Nerves or something.
The next day I felt like I could do anything. I cleaned my closet, cooked chicken bog and had some friends over for dinner.
The next day I had to have my shot for production of white cells. I was really tired after that.
To be honest, the only bad effects I had from the chemo was tiredness and I was a little queasy for a couple of days. So on the days I had to work, I just stayed in bed until time to go to work.
Hey, if that is as bad as it gets, BRING IT ON. I CAN DO THIS!!!!!!
I had to go back on the following Monday for more blood work. Then again on Friday. I seriously think they are a vampire coven or something. I tell you, I should be out of blood - thank goodness God designed our bodies to make more. I also found out why I felt so great - steriods. But I am not getting any muscles out of it or hitting any home runs or anything. Just feeling good.
