Today, Lenny gets to meet the Chemo Ninjas! I'm a bit nervous. But so far so good. Got here, got a fun little bracelet, and now I'm sitting with Anna in a comfy chair with some anti-nausea drugs being pumping into me.
The port is interesting. I kind of feel like I've had a plug inserted. No numbing agents (although I was offered ice), and it was a very small prick and boom, I'm plugged into the ninja machine. Although the port does go into a vein in my neck and I can feel that. While I know the port is the only way to go for this, it still skeeves me for some reason. :p
The nurse went over what to expect - about 30 minutes of anti-nausea drugs then a slow plunge of Adriamycin (takes about 5 minutes) then an hour for the Cytoxan. So basically once I'm plugged in, it's boring. But at least I can work - email and stuff - and play around on my computer.
I'm so happy Anna is here. I've been blessed with an amazing daughter.
I hope yesterday went well for you! You are in my meditations and I'll be sending you lots of healing energy! I admire your ability to see this experience in such a positive light! I don't know that I would have the courage to be that way!
