Hello family and friends ♡ sorry in advance for the long post is been a bit crazy the past 2 days. Yesterday was my first round of chemotherapy. I will say it was pretty emotional but I think that's because it was my first round and no amount of preparing will let me know exactly what to expect and the not knowing part really gets to me. I had a private room, I will have a private room every round, with a TV and My nurses were very nice and funny. They also made sure to tell me what they were doing and what everything was as they did their part, I appreciated that A BUNCH. The tv has a a free hdmi port so I can 100% bring my switch dock and do my best to absolutely dominate on mario cart and play some animal crossing on a larger screen. A nap was inevitable because at some point durring the infusion they give me benadryl. So far its a lot of sitting still and waiting while the treatment happens. That could possibly change as time goes on and it builds up in my system. Afterwards we went back home and the hot flashes were so intense but i was able to get to sleep at some point. That was pretty much the gist of yesterday.
As for today it started off good. I woke up and my throat was pretty dry but staying hydrated has helped with that. I felt pretty good and was having a wonderful day untill about 1:30pm ish when I got hit with the nausea, I took a zofran and that helped a bit but as it wears off im feeling it again. Sipping on gingerale between the doses of zofran has been a life saver. Im pretty much taking it day by day as I learn how my body will react to the chemo.
For now thats as much of an update I have. I love all of you!
