Time for my first chemo treatment and I am nervous. I think that I am nervous because this is my first time. My chemo treatments are done in the same office building as my doctor so this is nice!!
For the first treatment, I will receive everything slowly so that the nurses can monitor my progress and check for any reactions I may have to any of the medicines. It is also so nice to have my sister with me!!
Since I get Benadryl as part of the treatment, it is recommended that someone else drive you home. So glad of that!! I was sleepy and definitely not able to drive very good!!
Also, my hair will start to fall out about 18 to 21 days after this first treatment. Not excited about that. I will discuss the hair in a different post as it can be a little bit of a freak out moment (at least for me).
After the first treatment, the medicine will not be given as slowly. Wonder how that will be?
So, I will post about my hair in a different post (some did come out) but the first treatment was not as bad as I had built it up to be. Thank goodness!!
Okay, I will have more for you all later!! Thanks for stopping by and reading!!
