Well here I am at home. It went pretty well so far. I got there at 8:30 and they took me to the room at 8:45. They did lab work, and started a nausea IV. After about 15 mins they started two of the meds. They ran for about 2-2-1/2 hours. It wasn't bad at all.
The next step was the "pump". It was full of 5-fu meds and thats what will be slowly pumping into my system. Port and pump are ok. Hauling the pump around is rather annoying. I suppose I'll adjust to that in time. I only have to wear it for 2 days , go back and have it taken off until the next treatement 6/3
I know this is a whining but.. No TV, and no WI-FI. eek. I sent Kat home around 11. After all its her day off and I was fine. AND. It was freaking freezing in the Dr's office. I'll have to find a light weight blanket and a small pillow to take. I tried to go to sleep but that wasn't happening either. I'm thinking the more I get into this I'll relax and be able to take a nap. I may have figured out a way to get on the internet when I get there. I just need to check on plans , prices etc. I'd only need it for 6 months.
I don't feel any real nausea, I guess you could call it uneasy tummy.. I'm not really hungry. I do have nausea tablets that I have to take tomorrow and Friday. They're expensive too!! Well, not as expensive if I didn't have insurance. I've got 4 pills (through 2 treatments) for $25.00 Thats not too bad. I cant remember the name of it. Believe me, I'll let you know if it doesn't work!!
One more thing...The mammogram that I had Monday of this week, showed a nodule in my right breast. I have to go back for a repeat mammogram on that side. I can not work myself into anything of that. Just not right now, I've got the colon to deal with, so I'll start worrying about it sometime next week. It, the repeat, was originally scheduled for tomorrow but my oncologist changed it to next week. I can't have the mammogram with needles stuck in the pump!!! After thought about that I'm totally agreeing.
So that's how today went. It wasn't as bad as I feared .Tomorrow may be different or may be fine.
Thank you all for your comments etc. It makes my day to read them.
