First Chemo

After a rough start to the day I recieved my first chemo treament! One down only five to go!

My port wouldn't work after numerous attempts and xrays so they decided to give it through my arm.

It's funny, this morning i just wanted to run away and by lunch time today I was like just figure out how to get these chemo drugs into me so I can go home!

So, hours later I'm home on the couch feeling ok, just waiting for something to happen, I have no idea what.

A big thank to everyone who replied to my previous post.

  • Thanks Robyn

    Lesson learnt -Even if you wake up at 4.30 the next day after chemo feeling fine, dont do all your ironing and clean your leather lounge suite with that special cleaner you are suppose to use every 6 months (but no one does).

    Woke at 5 this morning but dont have the energy of yesterday, but other than that feeling ok

  • Hi Loreto

    Im feeling ok this morning. Woke up at 4.30am as bright as a button and couldn't get back to sleep, I have a horible metallic taste in my mouth and can feel an ulcer coming on my tongue, but nothing a can't handle. Your comments help the image I had of Chemo in my head was 100 times worse than what Ive read about

    Thanks
