And so it begins...

I am home now, just chilling after my first chemotherapy treatment. Up until a few moments ago I was doing fine but the queasiness is beginning. My first thought was, "They told me this would happen." So I did what they told me to do and took my first anti-nausea drug. Hopefully this will pass.

Chemotherapy took 3 hours, I didn't do much, I was feeling too chill to read or watch a movie, I just felt like being alone with my thoughts. Even though the room has other patients in it and there are nurses coming in and out, and the doctor stopping by to chat with patients,  it is surprisingly quiet and peaceful. So I spent most of my time just sitting and enjoying it. I wouldn't say its my favorite thing, but since I have a port and I used a numbing cream the treatment itself was fairly painless. My mouth tastes a little weird inside, saline and chemicals. And my pee was definitely pink, as promised. Now it is just to waiting out the other side effects and a quiet afternoon reading, or something.
