Chemo..round #2

Up early, (4:30 a.m.) ...possibly due to anticipation of chemo treatment this morning???   Tracey came and picked me up at 10:00 and away we went.   Banana & Zucchini bread were a big hit, I think the nurses liked it as much as the patients!  Thinking cookies next time.  My nurse Chris was very informative and quite funny.  I did get a bag of hydration..my "evaluation" went well, really think it had to due with insurance...you know whether they will pay $$$$ for a bag of water!!!  I asked again about the type of chemo I was getting and she explained it in more detail and wrote it down for me.  Seems that last tuesday... week 1..or cycle 1.. I was getting 2 types of chemo...Gemzar and Carboplatin...which really explains why I felt soooo terrible.  Week 2..or cycle 2... I'm only getting Gemzar..which explains why I'm feeling sooo good today.  Hydration tomorrow and meeting with the Dr.  My "team" is going with me, Bob, Abby and Beth.  Always good to have alot of ears to hear what they are saying.

So the day went by really fast, Tracey and I went shopping and out to lunch.  Came home to find that Abby had made another wonderful dinner for us.. Got a really nice card and plaque in the mail from another cancer survivor that I've never met , only thru e-mails.  After dinner another friend came over to visit.  So it has been a really busy day..can't believe that I'm still up and thinking of eating some ice cream and watching T.V
