So its been a week since my first chemo. it was not that bad having it, scary and intimidating, but not too bad…
after a huge mix up with appointments at the LOC, they did not have my booking although we had confirmed it only a few days before!
anyone who nows me knows that organizing things before they happen is a major part of me! i had this thing done. i had a nail lady coming in, someone coming to do lash extensions, friends at various times etc…. and they are telling me that all this is out the window!!! i might have got a little angry…
i got to go to st johns wood for the 4th time in my life… the new LOC platinum center was nice and we started… i was a bit shaken from the lack of organization (control) i had over things at this point and the nurse patiently listened to my rants and set up the cold cap. (and gives me a valium!)
not sure why i am doing the cold cap… it only helps you keep some hair, and even that is only 50% more chance of keeping SOME hair. but i have to try it. B tried it once so i will have to as well!
all done, 2 IV bags and some other stuff, and i am allowed home. the valium has worked and mum and i set off with our friendly driver john back to the country.
first few days i threw up and felt tired etc… but by saturday evening i was feeling much better. its a weird feeling, i felt hungover, pregnant and hurty, none of which made sense, i guess your body is being sucked of all the good bits and reacting to it. thats why everyone feels different. if its only o few days every time i think i can deal with it.
doc says he will change my meds up so i won’t be sick next time. lets see
