Well, the first day of chemo and radiation is in the books with no ill affects. (knock on wood!) The chemo area is very laid back and homey. Gina, my nurse, filled us in on what can be brought in back during treatment. As long as it isn't offensive to other patients it's good to go. Looks like I'm bringing the computer to watch a video and a couple of sandwiches. Oh, can't forget the water or juice. One of the things you're encouraged to do is go to the bathroom as much as you can to keep the kidneys and bladder flushed. So far no nausea. Woo hoo!
*Note to self, self empty bladder before laying on the table before radiation. Kudos to my radiation nurse Consuela, Carmalita, I guess I'll have to look closer tomorrow, for cutting out holes in my mask for my eyes. It's nice not having to look thru mesh and getting freaked out. The treatment lasted about 25 minutes with various positions of the machine shooting radiation into me. BRB............................................I'm back. It's not true, Iwent into the closet where it was dark, and I didn't glow. Maybe after week 7.
Ok my Peeps and Peepettes peace out and eat your greens.
