First Chemo Treatment

I arrive at the hospital about 9:15 or so, for my 9:30 Chemo appointment. I was very uncooperative to my very supportive husband. I know I said I walk in with my head up, but instead I stomped my feet like a 5 yr old. I swear out of all the things I never wanted to do, Chemotherapy had to be at the top of that list. So I sucked it up and finally walked in, looking Fabulous of course! Shoes and all....

Before I could start my Chemo I had to get a ultrasound on my unaffected breast to make sure, there wasn't any lumps in there. Which kind of puzzled me, because I took the PET Scan, that takes a picture of my whole entire body, A MRI that took pics of both my breast, and I had a Mammogram that hurt like hell. After all that I still needed a ultrasound, but I'm not complaining :) better safe than sorry, Right?

Finally my husband and I are in the chemo room. I'm getting myself ready to get hooked up with the meds. I take a moment and talk to GOD. We're waiting on the nurse, her name is Patrice, and she's really nice, (nurses should be nice). So she comes over explains some stuff, before she starts my IV.

Ok here comes the IV, and MAN it hurt like hell, it was put in my hand and not my arm, (did she know there is more meat on my arm. And guess what, I did shed a couple of tears, ( I don't really like needles, even though I have 4 holes in each ear, my tongue pierced and 2 tattoos :D).

Ms. Patricia my nurse, started the drugs, some first the Cytoxan, then 2 doses of Adriamoycin,(and guess what my husbands name is Adrian, Ironic hmmm). Along with some anti nauseated medicine. Now the Adriamoycin is Red and it turn your urine Red, just nasty. But all in all I felt fine. And have to be back today for nulastin shot, to hep my immune system produce more white blood cells.

When we left the hospital, we got a little something to eat at Sonic, (if your town has a Sonic, try the lemon berry slushie, it's BOMB). Cam home, I was so tired I took a nap after talking to my Son, sister, niece and close friend, (all the love). I woke up ate some more, and then oh my God, my stomach was queasy (hey that's what they call my son, queezy, maybe he's behind all of this, hmmm maybe a conspiracy.) and every thang came back up, so does the ain't nausea medicine really work, because I took more when I got home. Maybe my body just has to get use to it....

I will keep you posted..

Smooches
