Well, the day went pretty well! They started my IV fast, Nurse Diane, Very nice!!! Got some Prendisone and Zofran in me. Then started Chemo Drug #1, Taxotere, went in well, no problems! Then went in #2 Chemo Drug Cytoxan, also no problems. Also got another Ativan there, what the hell, makes me feel good and happy (it is also for nausea too). Dave was there to keep me company, he brought me a big Diet Coke a big bag of M&M's, yum! They have wireless there, so he got a little work done! Then my friend Heather (Frick), she is in the pink shirt, arrived (2 years out from Breast cancer herself), and she brought me (Frack) a goodie bag with a Kit Kat, Mounds Bar, Lucky Chemo Socks and Lucky Chemo Earrings! Who knew! Needless to say all chocolate is gone and I am feeling fine! We actually had a good time, laughed alot, had a nice view, ate Subway Sandwiches and cookies! All and all it was a nice day for chemo! I must load up on my P.M. nausea drugs now and get to bed. They say if it is going to be yucky, the next 2 days will be it (for nausea) then in 7-10 days my counts drop and I get tired. So we shall see! Have to give myself a shot of Neulasta tomorrow to boost my cells. Will keep you posted!!
