Day 1 of Chemo

Wow! I got up way to early and got ready to run to my doctor for the quick ck over and than to the plushy infusion center. I asked questions. What exactly are you giving me and what does it do and is anything optional. He listed everything and gave me a print out of everything. I decided to just take it all the first time and see how I did. They gave me Emend 125 mg and than 2 other emend for day 2 and day 3 80mg. and that is the only time I guess that i take that.

When I arrived at the infusion center they took me to my relaxing chair like the ones at the spa where i get my pedicures. My nurse was great she was kinda one of those hip trendy striped hair and full of enthusiam which I actually liked. She was relaxing to me and asked first if I had questions. I asked her what are you giving me and what is optional. same list as the dr but I wanted her to pass the test. :) So my AC and aloxi, ativan, decadron and an rx for Zofran. It was 3 hours there and than I was on my way home.

My fella Eddy, got me to the car and I guess asked me how are you doing baby and he said I looked at him and said "I am sorry Eddy I don't understand the question" haha. I guess I was a little dingy.

He drove straight to the park and said sorry chicky we are going walking and I thought omg can i walk and he took my arm and lead me around the park for about 20 minutes and than took me home. I appreciate so much that he made me walk and when we got home he had made me in the crock pot a mineral brew of a million vegetables that I never use it was a recipe he got from my niece in colorado and she called it magic mineral broth. It was pretty good! I drank a cup of that and slept. When I woke up I drank more water and more broth and he took me walking again. We live on the beach and it was a nice walk, we walked for about 30 minutes and it was nice smelling the sea air. I came home drank more water and slept. All in all I feel good. No nausea and I hope I don't have any. For snacks I brought some raw almonds, crackers and provolone cheese and 4 fig newton bars. It was a perfect lunch for me.

I feel good I hope the outcome of all my chemo treatments are like this one. but man I am sleepy. thank you for caring! I keep you all in my prayers and thank you for keeping me in yours :)
