MY PORT IS NOT GOOD!
i knew this from the beginning it has hurt, and felt wrong from the start. i am NOT a doctor i know but everyone who saw it was like woooooah Wow or what is that!
it is so ugly ( i know that is not the biggest issue but it really is yuck… any way saw a IR doctor who is going to replace it tomorrow! happy as it has been such a pain in my ass since its been put in.
should be in and outing few hours.
First few strands came out… Here we go
Well it was a bit harder. First night really bad. Felt like I had been run over. First few days were just tiring. Only threw up a few times so change of meds working.
Thursday my hair felt out (down below!) all of it! Gone! Quite funny!!
Having problems with my port, (portocath device on my chest where they put the chemo into) it keeps moving etc. never felt like it was right. Now the scar has opened and it looks infected! Antibiotics here we come!
Silas gave me his cold! So over night I got a chest and sinus infection.! More antibiotics!
On mend now and this week should be easy.
Off to london to see doctor about port and have my heart checked out(another chemo side effect!)
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
