Jan. 2nd was
my First Chemo Treatment
A bunch of men and women in a big room.
Everyone gets their own recliner and TV.
Wow so many people with cancer…..it’s
scary. And this is just one of many treatment centers in Tulsa.
The treatment itself 5 hours long for my first session, was not to bad. I slept through part of it, because they gave me Benedryl.
My
first night – was not so bad, just a little nausea, actually more like ULCER
pain. The next day I had a slight headache. Then that night it changed. I was SICK
ALL NIGHT LONG. Every time I got up …. to vomit, I would be freezing and my
teeth would be chattering, by the time I got back to bed. But it felt so good to crawl back in bed against his warm
body, each time. Thank you Tom! It was a long night
for both of us!
Yesterday was a better
day. I just felt drained and had a slight headache, much like you feel after the flu. Today, I
feel tired and still have my headache. But I have been able to eat and NO
nausea. So maybe that is over with - until next treatment. That would be nice.
It would be wonderful if it is never any worse than this.
Some say the symptoms
will get worse with each chemo treatment. Of course – we really do not know.
Everyone responds differently. So I am praying for the lighter side effects…..
Thank
you to all our friends and family who have been keeping us in prayer.
We feel
your love and it is greatly needed and appreciated right now.

At the tea table, try not to ask: 'One lump or two?"
Yes, these are fake. My real ones tried to kill me.
Sexual harassment? I can't feel a thing.
