I had my first chemo on Monday. It did not hurt too much when they put the iv in the port. It took about 1 1/2 hours to get all the mediation: anti nausea, one chemo drug, 2nd chemo drug, small bag to flush. Now I know what to expect and it the process does not seem scary. I felt okay on Tuesday, with just a headache. Went in Tuesday afternoon and had the injection that is suppose to make my white blood cells produce more rapidly. Woke up Wednesday morning and felt so sick to my stomach. Threw up at 8:30 a.m. and did not call the doctor as I had been advised. Felt better and thought I would be okay, but no so. After laying around all day concentrating on not throwing up. I threw up again and felt as if my insides were turned inside out! Called the doctor and went in for an iv of fluid and a shot for nausea. I felt so much better. But it was 3:00 by the time I went in. Next time I will definitely go right away!! Fell much better today. Next chemo they are going to give me a different anti-nausea drug as it seems the one that works for most people, did not work for me. Of course, I'm unique! P.S. here's a photo of my short hair, got it cut Tuesday evening. Thought it won't be so traumatic for me when it all falls out in about two weeks. Thank you all for your love and support.
