1st Chemo Treatment

Well here it is then of the day, I'm tired , but I think that is atrributrd for being there for 8 hours. My daughter and grandaughter came with me, while they couldn't stay because of the young ones age, since I was first in the allowed her to see rhe room set up, sthe infusion needles and bag trees, she was scared at all and knows that grammieahe is getting treatment to make her better. All in all today was apositive step forward, and I do know as time goes on it's going to get tougher, but all I can do is place one foot in front of the other. Daughter packed a great lunch with proteins, startches, fruits,snacks and ample drinks, had cell phones , blanket and good reading material. The staff is great , the outher patients, while haveing various tpes of treatment were great too we talked, exchanged ideas, laughed, slept , and in my case went to the bathroom quite a bit, thank you Mr. Lasiks. IK came home with a 5-FU pump, and it's taken sometime to get used to it..but just another step. The chemo nursed said I was infused with quite a bit of anti nausea meds, but said if I was going to ger sick it could happen any time from 12 to 16 hours after treatment, time will tell mayme no sickness, but are prepared for the worst with some heavy duty thinks to take.
