Hello friends...I can honestly say today was much better than I had expected. That anxiety attack I had last night when I went to bed was needless!! Glenn and I got there around 9 o'clock. I had to have a chest x-ray to be sure the port was in place properly..it was.
We go to our own little private room with recliner, TV , we had our own laptop and they also provided another one if we wanted it. Hooking the port up was not as painful as I thought...of course I was thinking the worst!! I got a bag of fluids with lots of good anti-nausea meds, as norm, then the red devil came into my room! This is the Adrianmycin...the killler....named Red Devil. It showed its face in two 30cc syringes. This has to be a little close to the feeling that someone about to get the lethal injection must feel!!! ya think? I know that when she starts pushing the red devil in my port my body, as I use to know it, is ceaseing to be. It didn't hurt at all...when I got up to go to the potty..it was red...well it had made it's way thru and out!
Next came the Cytoxin, don't have a nick name for that one. I was told by the nurse this one can make the top of your nose toward the forehead burn. It did...not bad just aburning sensation that ICould tolerate...but no... Glenn told them and they turned it down some. Thank you Glenn
We had lunch while we were there which was really good. I got unplugged and we went home. I was just very sleepy by that time and we both crashed for a couple hours.
Glenn is being so overprotective....He has put signs on our doors saying tha't 'if you would like to come in you must pull your shoes off at the door, if you are sick or been around any sickness, here is your mask and hand sanitizer.. you may not get close only air kisses and hugs'!!! He is a great caregiver!!
So right now I have just a dull headache and a little nausea. I can handle this.
Loves to all...Mel
