CHEMO/IMMUNOTHERAPY DAY
I woke up at 2:30 a.m. this morning. I couldn’t get back to sleep
so, I just got some things ready for my first chemo/immunotherapy session.
My sister texted around 6:30 a.m. this morning after I had
texted her about 5:50 a.m., asking her how the weather was in Herriman, UT (She
was coming to pick me up for treatment). She responded, “It’s great.”
Unbeknownst to me, she was in the parking lot praying her rosary. Herriman is
about a 30–40-minute drive to where I live, and we had a sizeable snowstorm
come in overnight. She wanted to make sure she was here on time, because my
treatment started at 7:30 a.m. That’s where support from family is so
incredible, and very much appreciated.
Once we got to the clinic, I felt a little anxious, but not
a lot. Educating myself where I needed, did help to ease the initial anxiety. I
know there will be more questions, and reactions that will create other anxious
moments, but for right now, one moment at a time will suffice.
My treatment went as smoothly as I could imagine. I was
anticipating 8 hours of treatment on this first visit; we were done in about
five and a half hours.
It’s now 4:54 p.m., and I have been up since 2:30 this
morning. I ate a meatloaf sandwich about an hour ago, and feeling tired, so I’m
going to post this now and lay down for a bit.
Until tomorrow (or later tonight)…
