First day of chemo

Home from day one of chemo!  Since I don't have a port put in yet they administered the drugs thru a IV in the back of my right arm...yep couldn't use my arm for 2 1/2 hours. Before the actual "chemo" drugs I was given a steroid and an anti nausea medicine.  Then the big guns came out!  Not sure what the names are, one is Carboplatinum ? and don't recall the other one..sure I will find it out tomorrow.  The time seemed to go by fast as Abby and I worked on setting up this blog.  My nurse Pauline was extremely nice and I jokingly asked her what section or "pod" of the infusion lab was the "fun" one.  We talked about how I used to sit in a certain spot with the same people at the old office and she said she had heard about a "rowdy, fun loving" group..and I have to think that it involved me!  You would tend to think it's a depressing place to be, but everyone is in the same boat. fighting to get better.  My schedule for now is 2 weeks of chemo..every tues and hydration on weds...then 2 weeks off.  This is to continue till Dec...when I will then have surgery to remove the shrunken tumor.  and then more chemo.  That is the plan as of yesterday..of course subject to change.  This thurs I will be going to get my port put back in with 2 of my best buddies in tow.....Hopefully I will get better at this as I go along......Much love to all for your e-mails and messages..
