Adventures in chemo

Adventures in chemo! I love adventures, and Tuesday had some to take my mind off my first day of chemo (A/C). First, I had to have a Mugascan to measure heart ejection rate, before I could get one of the drugs. After they took some of my blood to mix with the isotopes, i walked out in the hall for water, and there was a Code Gray (combative patient). A guy in the MRI area ripped out his IVs, shoved some techs and ran away. Lots of excitement. When I got to the chemo area, several nurses were around where I was being weighed and they were all congratulating me--ejection rate like a 30 year old!! Then after chemo: technicolor pee! Not as scary as I thought it would be and doing great so far! :) Whew!

    Wow,

    that is too funny, you did have quiet an interesting
    time of it all. I never hurt anyone but must admit to
    hiding and bribery of the techs. The things I learn
    on this board (:

    Hope your chemo will not be too tough on you.

    You go girl!
    Glad to hear you got through the first one--definitely the scariest for me. After that one, I treated it like going to the beauty shop and chatting with everyone for a few hours. I always brought a book and magazines, but I don't think I ever really had time to read them!

    Stay strong and focused, and you'll soon see the finish line as you cross over it with arms raised high and a smile on your face.

    Hugs, Renee

    One, Done!
    Congrats on finsihing your first (and worst)chemo. The first to me was bad because I didn't know what to expect. I had other issues later, but I was more mentally prepared to face them. Time will go by super fast and you'll be done before you know it.

    BTW, I love the title of your post..I think we should turn into a general room where everyone talks about their experiences during chemo (e.g. Like "Chemo Room" lol. I like yours better).

    Good luck with the next treatment, and all the rest.

    :)
