Chemo Day 1
Hi everyone. I thought i would give you a heads up about my chemo today. Firstly i did kick its butt after the 1st hour. The 1st hour was the hardest as i chose the cold cap. I had snug warm blanke...
Just getting ready for chemo, getting teeth looked after, booked appointment with surgeon for Portacath consult, will have to wait again for that, so decided to have first treatment through peripheral vein, I want to get it started, but have no date yet. It is going to take 4 and a half months, every three weeks treatment. Hmmm it is a long trip or long drip! I liken the treatment to a journey, at present I am still packing bags, booking seats, thinking of books to read and things to do along the way. In between deep breathing, 3 seconds in, 3 seconds out, repeat for 3 minutes. This is part of a wellbeing course I am doing at the moment, and has helped me already at the dentist today. It works even if done just a few times whatever is convenient in a situation. All the best for everybody!
