Day 1

CHEMO DAY!!!!!

    

Today started off just like any other day, getting ready and kids off to school. With just a few errands to run I set out while Gordon was busy at work. As time passed I started to become a little nervous and found myself continually looking at the clock. I needed a distraction so I started calling my kids and just listened to what they were doing and what was going on in their lives. This really helped to take my mind off of me and onto something else.


I hurried home so Gordon and I could leave for Huntsman for treatment.  We stopped and had lunch prior to going to the hospital. I tried to eat but couldn't put down much. I have to say everyone at Huntsman is so wonderful and kind. We walked in and had no clue as to where to go until a kind young man showed us the way. Once we were seated and waiting for lab work to come back so we could start treatment. The nurse started going over all the information that we needed to know. She was very gentle and reassuring every step of the way. Then it was time to start, I didn't think I would say this but I'm so grateful for my Port, it made everything so much easier. It seemed to go faster then I thought but that's probably because I had great company and Netflix playing in the background. Before we knew it we were done.


Waiting for lab work to come back.
Getting ready for my first round of meds.
 
                         

We are home now and so far so good. Besides being a little tired I, feeling pretty good. We watched a movie with the kids, well they watched a movie I slept.... But Millie told me all about it when it was over. Day 1 was a good day!

                                                   
I sure do love this man!
