Chemo

I am done with my first round of chemo. I told James the only way I can describe how I feel is "funky". The gave me 2 anti-nausea medications first via my port after drawing blood for the iron study and a CBC. Then the nurse pushed in the adriamycin. This is blood red and in fact does look like liquid poison. Almost immediately I could taste it. They had me chew ice during this to try to prevent mouth sores. When that was done they began the cytoxin. When they started this drug I got light-headed and my nose got stuffy. The nurse said this was normal. Before leaving they gave me 5 prescriptions for nausea. I told James what does that tell you???? 2 IV infusions and 5 prescriptions all for nausea...I think it may be a long weekend.

After chemo James and I got a bowl of soup. I wanted to eat something right away. The nurse practitioner I saw on Tuesday told me that by Friday night I probably won't feel to great. Thanks for all the prayers!
