Decision Made
Well today was the day. Decision made will do the chemo. Only 4. And the count down already begun with first blood test out of the way. And I start on Friday and last one on 10/7/2014. So can celebrat...
Thanks Wndsrfn - like you feeling more than a bit scared re the first one.
I was speaking with my onc nurse today about feeling very anxious re cannulations due to recent and bad experiences and potential need to have PICC line in - she mentioned I may find helpful to speak with docs on Thursday to get some Vitamin L - I was confused as knew about Vitamin K but not L.
She said smiling - Lorazepam- good for anxiety associated with chemo without hangover effects of Valium and others. Not sure how you feel about taking meds but perhaps may assist with managing the panic attacks.
My mum said she would come down on Tuesday next week - have tried gently to put her off for a few more days as I think I may be better by self - not sure -still thinking it through.
Have those friends of yours produced your fab hats for every day yet? :)
