How can they schedule a first session of chemotherapy - with its promises of nausea and all that - not only at 7:20am, but on a 'holiday' Monday no less! It should have been a perfect day to sleep in gosh darn it.But alas, chemo called. So off to Methodist we went...Matt had his first session of chemo today and it actually - knock on wood - went pretty well. And he is continuing to feel pretty good - tired, but not too nauseous which is what it is all about. They were able to move up his radiation to match when the chemo was done, so we were out of there by 12:30pm I think. Our 
nurse, Cindy (above) has great too - able to keep up with Matt's unique sense of humor which is always nice to have.

Matt,
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how long your chemo sessions are but I can tell you that after about week 4 I looked forward to sleeping in the recliner with the warmed-up blanket for 3 hours! No guarantee, but I think you'll find that the chemo will be a non-event from the nausea perspective. I didn't have any issues 6 years ago and I can only assume they've gotten even better at mitigating that side effect. This is your ONLY job now. Keep your head and keep marking off the days........Peace.
thanks Rob! Yup, the days are being marked off and then some....Thanks again.
