Day 1
Posted: Thu May 07, 2009 3:49 pm
Well, Day 1 is winding down nicely.
Started this morning by having the Hickman line placed....and then I was brought directly to my room. They started hydration shortly thereafter. Had to have a repeat sinus CT as the one I had 2 weeks ago was NOT clear....so they did another.
First dose of chemo came a lot earlier than anticipated: 5pm! (last time it was close to 10pm!)
Went in without a hitch and it's now 7:45pm and I still feel okay - no problems. Have a headache but had it before they started the chemo. I think I will ask them for something for it.
I was anticipating being really sick...so now I'm sitting and waiting. And just for good measure, once again to tempt fate, I ate "crap" (ring ding anyone? teehee). But alas, no sickness - as of yet anyhow....
One down, three to go.
I've managed to watch two movies while I've been here so far... I'm quite bored....doesn't help that I'm here alone.
