Chemo # 7 down...one to go!

We had a successful chemo treatment today. Ask me starting on Thursday afternoon (and for the next 3 days after that) how I'm feeling. That's when the pain is scheduled to start.

Before they start the chemo drug, they give you a few other drugs. One is Benadryll. They tell you they're putting it in. It's to help make sure you don't have a reaction to the chemo drug. You have to take steroids to make sure you don't have a reaction to the Benadryll. Anyways, they tell you right before they shoot it in the IV. After a minute or so, it's like someone turned on your "I need a nap RIGHT NOW" light. Unfortunately, I also get restless leg syndrome and am usually unable to nap. Even with the warm blanket from their warming machine. I gotta get me one of those.

MFD and I have a bridal luncheon to attend tomorrow which is being thrown by her co-workers at the Sewickley Public Library.

My last chemo is to take place on June 15th. Keep your fingers crossed!
