Well - easy peasy so far. Arrived at the hospital at 1:25, they called me in at 1:30 (my appt time) & a very nice nurse explained the process & 'accessed my port' (which means stabbing a ginormo needle into it that they can hook up the drugs to). We walked out of there at 3:30.
So far, so good - other than feeling a little light-headed due to one of the anti-nausea meds, I feel ok. I am on a hefty regime of anti-nausea meds that is aimed at staying ahead of any potential nausea. If it works, I theoretically won't feel sick.
Of course, that doesn't mean I won't feel like crap. But perhaps just not nauseous... Will keep you posted and will try to keep the gory details to a minimum! (you know, like that close-up pic of my port... ha ha)

Thinking of you Shana. I am sure if love, prayer and positive thoughts have power then you hold it all.
ReplyDeleteDitto to Bonnie's note.
ReplyDeleteWow. That just puts a lump back in my throat.
You're doing good, girl. Keep it up. Do the count down-only 7 to go. That will make it seem better and quicker.
The anti nausea med. really does help.These drugs have come a long ways over the years. As far as feeling like crap..... well.........!!!!!!!
This too shall pass.
