day four
I really can't tell you to much today, because I am feeling so tired and just not my self. I just finished my first type of chemo this morning and now they have me doing another one. This one can cause the chills and fevers. I hope that the side effects don't get to bad. They are also starting me on my third chemo med tonight and that one will run for two days straight. I will be ending my first cycle on Saturday night ans can hopefully go home to be with my family.I Thank-you all for your support and following along with me on my battle against cancer.

Day two
Tuesday October 20, 2009
My day started at 4:20 am. Thats when the first nurse came into draw blood, then about five minutes later another nurse came in to check my vitals.(which is when they check your blood pressure and take your temp.)At 6am the nurse came to give me my second bag of chemo. I finished my dose of chemo at 9am. They are also giving me steriod shots once a day and blood thinners too. I guess chemo patients can get blood clots. (YEAH,SCAREY) They also have to give me shots in my stomach for 11 days. DOESN'T HURT.
I don't feel any kind of symptoms (YET) But, they said everybody is different and it might change tommorow. I don't mean to scare anyboby with the details but I want to be helpful for those who might have to go through what I'm going through. Well this morning I was a little tired but that was from the nurses checking my vitals all night. They brought me breakfast and they couldn't believe that I had a appetite but, they don't know me with food.:) For the first two days I will recieve a dose of chemo every 12 hours for three hours at a time.Today they are also putting a dose in my spine. When they put the shot of chemo in my spine they are going to also take fluid out to test for more possible cancer. I hope that the fluid comes up negative. I don't want to say that I'm only doing this for my kids and my husband, but they are what is keeping me going and being strong. I want to get this done and then I can have my whole life with kids and my family. I should be done with treatment in atleast six months. Thanks for following me on my journey and i'll keep you posted.
