well it has been 6 days sence my first chemo final started feeling a little better I did a few things around the house light stuff like laundry cleaning out the frig sence I never go in there anymore.lol yks was kinda scary in there. one more week and I go back for treatment # 2 . So I hope I will be feeling well then otherwise it will really knock the crap out of me. Still kinda scared because they had so much trouble with my power port. What was suppose to be a smooth 45 min turned into almost 6 hours. I hope the problem was a one time only thing........ It seems like I was the sickest tho the 3 days after chemo then I started getting better. huh also lost 4 pounds this week that is a plus for me tho. I had lost 20 pounds and then when all this started I gained it all back oh well at least I think I am over the worst part of not knowing whats going to happen. I take one day at a time thats all I can do..I couldn't have done it with out all you ladies you are my guiding light my super stars....xoxoxoxox

    great attitutude....
    You have the right attitude and will get through this tunnel just fine....YOU are a star and will shine at the other end of the tunnel! Sorry to hear they had a problem with using your port.....hoping #2 is no problem. It is a bit of a roller coaster ride...as I recall, just when I started to fee great...it was time for another infusion of chemo and the cycle repeated itself :-) But...it is what it is...you will get through this tunnel. I am hoping you have little to no side effects and all goes smoothly for you. Lots of positive thoughts and hugs sent your way

    So happy the fear of the unknown is behind you. I love your attitude and you will get through this!! Sorry about your port, I wish I had a power port, seems every time I have to have more testing done, the power port could have saved my arm. Mines a regular port and it hasn't given me any trouble yet "knock on wood". Big hugs and here's praying chemo #2 goes smoothly and you have minimal side effects.

    here's hoping the rest of your treatment goes without a hitch. I'm sorry they had problems with your port. Are you on a 3 week cycle? I didn't lose any weight. I gained while taking the Dexamethasone. I gained a total of 30 lbs in last 6+ months. Now trying to relose it while on Arimidex. Wishing you a better outcome.

    Soooooooooooo glad you are
    Soooooooooooo glad you are starting to feel better! I just found out I have to have chemo this past Friday. I have been looking for the positives, so along with not having to shave my legs and under arms for awhile I will add some weight loss!

    Hang in there! I am sorry you are here, but glad we have each other to lean on while we go through these trying times.
