Treatment 1 of Chemotherapy

Treatment 1 done! I was so nervous, I was nauseated before I had a treatment! Nerves, the horrors of the unknown, our worst enemy.

It wasn’t horrible, there were lots of nurses and staff dropping in, as well as a nutritionist. I even reconnected with a Good Shepherd church member I hadn’t seen in years!

One of the meds they pushed, it was weird, I started to say taste, it wasn’t really a taste, the the nurse said “smell”! That was it I was smelling the medicine inside my head! How in the world! It smelled like crescent roll dough! Not horrible!

The only thing I noticed right away was being fuzzy in my brain after the chemo drug. I then noticed at home that I have a terrible headache.

I also came home with this:


A nuelasta patch. It is an automatic dispenser designed to help the nausea. It will give me a shot tomorrow an then after an hour or two I will take it off. Pretty amazing if you ask me!

I also picked out a wig today. I am not thrilled with it but it will do.

Parkview Cancer Institute was once again amazing! I will create another post for this.

I am pretty tired so I am calling it a night! It has been a good day!
