Apr 9 marks the last of the 3-chemo drug sessions and apart from blowing another vein, went well. Despite squeezing an exercise ball and dressing as though for the Arctic it didn't plump them skinny veins! Carmen heated my forearm like crazy and struck gold on second try. Post holiday traffic meant they were very busy but staff there stay calm and caring nonetheless. I was through by 6:30pm and hungry for the special dinner Ted had prepared- salmon caviar and smoked black Alaska cod. And more chocolate.
Now I follow the anti-nausea drug routine for 3 days and don't expect any problems. Because I have to drink loads to run these toxic chemicals through the system, I am up every few hours at night but just lie in bed, read the paper and do the crosswords until 10! I can handle this.
