I got my first day of chemo done. Yea if over!! I was so nervous, but Tracy my nurse, she was so calm and upbeat. She got us through it. And I thought I could talk, boy she was a talker! It helped a lot to keep my mind of things.
So of course I always have problems or delays. That's the Chapman way! The nurse from last week at my doctors visit didn't send my chemo prescription for pre-approval so they had to do that first. It took 2 hrs to do this. Once they started my meds, it was 11:30!! I didn't leave until 4:30! IT was a long day.
At least this won't happen anymore. Tracy took care of it all.
I keep waiting for something to happen, like any second now, but I just feel normal. I guess I should be thanking God for that right now. Because once the side effects start, I will be wishing them to go away.
Dr. Hargis said I probably won't feel anything until about Friday or Saturday, So that will be good.
My next 2 visits won't be as long, she said about 1 1/2 hrs since I will only be getting the one med these next 2 visits.
Last night I was so exhausted I went to bed at 7:30! but I couldn't sleep, finally asleep at 11:30! with the help of some phenergan :) I swear my eyelashes were falling out last night. I kept feeling them fall on my cheek and in my eyes. Rob said I was crazy! But this morning they are all there!.
Hannah and Beth from my girl scout troop brought me a gift Monday night. It was the greatest. A t-shirt with a sock monkey (they know I love sock monkeys!) with pink (my favorite color) and it said sock it to cancer. I wore it my first treatment. Everyone loved it.
Keep praying for courage and strength. I know so far it hasn't been to hard, but I think it will be coming soon.
Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus says, "come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gently and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
Love to you all
I love you so much daughter you are strong & I know that our LORD is with you
