Cycle 1 done!!

WOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!

1/4 of the way done my treatment. Each treatment is a step closer to being rid of this nastiness inside me. Bring it on!

As for the treatment itself, it went pretty good. The 'D' drug is the one that gives me trouble with pain, so we mixed things up a little today with the hopes of no pain in a week. Only time will tell. Lots of saline with it again, so im nicely hydrated :)

The fatigue truck hit sooner this time. Started to feel tired during treatment. The nurses are amazed I don't fall asleep, im thinking it may happen one day. Guess the affects of fatigue hit you faster with each treatment.

Well thats about all for now... im tired...

Getting ready for #2

Tomorrow morning is treatment #2. Not too worried about it as I now know what to expect.

Decided to go even funkier with the hair, as body hair is starting to go already. I was a little surprised, as it happened a couple days earlier than I expected.

On a positive note, the arm pain has subsided quite a bit... painkillers help lots for when it hits though!

Its nice to know that my head isn't funny shaped!!

1 down...

Today was my first chemo... yeah for starting!! As you might be able to tell since i am on the board already it went pretty good. They have me on 3 anti-nauseants and a 4th to take if I get any of that 'breakthrough nausea'. So far my head feels a little foggy and im getting a little tired.

Had a wonderful nurse this morning as well which helped lots. Had some stinging issues with the last drip but then they figured it was more concentrated than they usually do it so just had saline at the same time and all was good.
The nurse said I had enough fluids to last the whole day, lol.

I ate a lite lunch, and hope to eat dinner as well... not really hungry though, probably all the fluid they gave me!

Now I think it may be time to sit back, sip some apple juice for that dry mouth I feel a coming on, and read some of my book.

If I can feel like this all through treatment, im set!!
