Confronting day
Had a biopsy on my lymph nodes today. The lady and I were talking and I told her my Bone and CT scans didn't show signs of mets so I wasn't too worried about the lymph - I assume it's there anyway b...
Hi. I remember that feeling too. It was just over a year ago now. It's very surreal because you know, looking at these people, you'll be one of them soon. But I quickly adapted and ended up kind of looking forward to the session. I took my laptop and watched all the Game of Thrones series again with earphones! As a mum of three young boys it was a welcome respite to be honest..... but one I never EVER want to repeat. I was also lucky my premeds worked and I didn't experience nausea etc.
I also remember seeing a couple of people come through on their tour during my sessions. And I remember just feeling sad for them. I guess it reminded me of feeling so unsure about it all and so afraid of the unknown of what lay ahead. I was pleasently surprised to find it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I had anticipated, the sessions or the aftermath. I hope it's the same for you too.
Not that you're asking for advice but I'll give it anyway ??... take the anti nausea meds to the exact hour or half hour they're due and the highest dose they suggest for you!! Even if it means setting an alarm for overnight to take them.
Wishing you all the best Shellie oxox
