So today was Chemo session #4 the last of AC Dense chemo. I have to say I didn’t sleep well with all my questions and concerns.
So Noah takes me to the appointment again as Juan couldn’t take more time off. I didn’t ask Noah to stay cause I didn’t want him to be there for the questions or the access of the port! I had my list of questions and had Juan on the phone to listen in. Cause you know I have “Chemo Brain”.
Dr. Ajaz walked in with all of her 5’0. I told her I had a list of questions and she said ok but I have a plan. She answered about five of my questions and I only had two for her. The plan is today’s session will be the last of the hard chemo. Then on 10/8 I will start taxol for 12 weekly session. She says some people don’t make it past 6 sessions but she feels I will do well. But before I start taxoal I will be doing an MRI to see if the cancer has gotten smaller or larger! Yes, larger…. WT-!
So I head back to my recliner and it is full. I scan the room for a chair and see once again I am the youngest in the room. Then I remind myself younger people get cancer too! I pick my chair and set up my laptop cell phone and get ready to work. Then I sat back and prayed. I thank God for all my blessing and to help me get get through this one! Peace came over me and then the red chemo started its way into my body.
I have to say, this one got me tired from the time it entered me. My blood sugar went up to 329! I felt so tired I had to call in my FMLA time.
Overall it was good! I felt like once again my Dr. had my back and the nurses where awesome. And the older lady that walked up, stopped in-front of me and said “you look good”. I told her, “thank yo and she said “no, you look good bald”! I saw she had a wig so I thanked her again. So yes, I don’t want this desease and I will always be a cancer patient but I carry it with faith, courage and grace!
I got this!
You’ve got this!
