How it’s going so far

Had chemo today as you probably know, the original chemo regiment was two (maybe three but I think two) drugs pushed from a syringe and one bag that took an hour (think it’s the medicine pushed into a bunch of saline or whatever), this time is all bags.  That’s why it takes so long, got there 8:30am, got home at 4pm.  So far, it’s worse than last time, it’s like one and half times worse or whatever.  If that keeps up, it’s going to suck but not be nearly as bad as I thought… though three days in a row is new, and don’t know if it will just extend the time, linearly increase or worse, exponentially increase.  But ya, if it keeps the same ratio it’s not nearly as bad as it could be… friend of my folks had some kind of chemo and she’d get home from chemo and dry heave for 3 or 4 hours.  But that said, the first day wasn’t that bad before anyway, originally I’d get chemo on thursday and saturday and sunday are what sucked the most, so we’ll see.

Guess that’s it.  Guess I’m going to go to bed soon.

    I’m having a hard time knowing what to say anymore. How many times can I say that I hope you pull through before I am just a broken record? I just hope you know I’m here for you if anything would help.

    it’s always good to hear people are pulling for me and what not, even if it is the same thing said slightly different.

    Don’t get OVERconfident. Recommend that you KEEP thinking this will suck. That way you keep your “defenses” up as things inevitably get rougher. This is a battle that you more than any of us, knows won’t be straight-forward. Don’t underestimate the enemy and you shall be triumphant.

    She awaits you off the battle field…

    ya, the next few days are what counts for how shitty this is going to be, and since that’s totally up in the air, definitely not expecting a cake walk.
