Chemo Round #1

Things are about to get real. I had to buy barf bags online last night and had my 1st chemo cycle this morning. We arrived at MD Anderson at 6:15am. Had blood work and at 7:30am went into this room. I was expecting a very large room with lots of people having treatment in reclining chairs, so a private room was a pleasant surprise.

We were in the room for 3 hours. The first 30 minutes consisted of flushing my port and administering 3 different nausea medications and a steroid. The following 2.5 hours consisted of the 3 chemo drugs (F.A.C). One of them has a "street name" of Red Devil. Love the warm and fuzzy feeling that it gives me hearing the name, but I'll welcome and embrace this little cocktail as it helps me beat this thing. Thankfully, it was a non eventful day and I feel great other than sleepy and a little queasy.
