My IP chemo went well!

Had my first IP (cisplatin) wed. It was easier than I thought it would be. Mostly bloated and bored. My dr. Does an inpatient overnight for the cisplatin because of the need for hydration. The nurses pushed 3L saline-- IV then I was to drink an additional liter of water that night. There were no worries about the port, but the second nurse wished the first had used a longer needle. There were two hours where I had to remain reclined, and then rolled and tilted like a rotisserie chicken--I was pumped full of saline and ready for the job! I also rec'd taxol the day before (IV) and will receive more taxol next tues (IP). The plan is for 4 cycles in this manner. It's Friday night and I am following my anti nausea regimen to the letter--still need to drink 3 L water/day for the sext few days. My IP port was attached to my lowest rib for stability. A couple of the nurses had not seen that-- they were more used to seeing the port lower on the belly making it harder to access-- "like hitting target in Jello" one of then nurses observed. Thank you all for your support and advice. I was a bit antsy about this procedure. You wonderful women have a way of putting a nervous woman's mind to rest.
Blessings, prayers and healing thoughts to you all,
Karen
