It's a toxic medicine. But it may guarantee your survival. Or what it puts your body through it could be just that the end.
I have had to have chemotherapy twice, that's too many times I may tell you. May 1989 then again November 2008.
Chemotherapy is really hard. The second time as I knew I would be going I panicked. It took half an hour to get that cannula in my arm. I had tensed up so much it wouldn't go in my arm. Oh dear!
Then the nurse yelling at me relax....relax! Sure that was really helpful. The cancer ward is depressing enough but then that. Wow.
My first chemo saw me at George the 5 th Camperdown Sydney. It's a long time ago.
Every Friday admitted in for 24 hours. I all of a sudden I hated Friday. Saturday for me was a relief like no other. I used to run with the little strength I had.
2nd time Gosford District hospital in gosford. Times had changed then it was a half day visit only! Thank goodness I didn't want to be in there for an extra minute I promise you. I went home to sleep. You need to drink lots of water before you sleep because you become very dehydrated. That lovely little bladder will be full when you wake up. I found the second night was my hell night after every chemo. Sick as a dog, tossed and turned felt really unwell. First chemo I was down for about 2 days by the end down 2 weeks. Those little tufts of hair seem soft and crazy. But they fell out after every chemo cycle.
My stomach turned me off red wine, but I Cheered myself a bourbon and Coke sometimes just so I felt a little normal! Jim beam probably heard lots of my arrrrsss and deep sighs!
