First Chemo this morning

 

Hi Ladies,

I had my first Chemo  today I'm feeling pretty okay, a little tired and lightheaded but being lightheaded is apparently one of the side affects I need to keep up my fluids, It's 19 years today since the day my husband and I had our first date and we are still together and will have been married for 18 years in January, he said to me on the way to chemo this morning which to me at the time was a really romantic and supportive thing to say to me and I quote " there's nowhere else I would rather be than right here by your side today" he's been there at every appointment and with me evry step of the way so far through my journey. Chemo wasn't what I was expecting at all everyone was so friendly and caring and my port pain has gone away which is awesome and I had to see my surgeon today and he has been amazing he's happy with everything, my mother in law has been wonderful she picked up my daughter from school and helps look after her and around the house I'm very lucky to have such wonderful support because a lot of people out there don't you don't realise it until you start treatment, I'm going to write a diary of my journey as it might help someone one day you never know I am going to beat this thing 1 treatment of chemo down 5 to go. Sending Cuddles to everyone and positive energy Anitaxx
