First week after chemo

Last Monday I had my first chemo treatment. It was pretty un eventful except for 1/2 way through going to the bathroom and peeing red because of what they call the "red devil" drug.  Bry came with me and was happy as a clam working on our new house plans. I went in there shaking like a leaf and scared out of my mind. They gave me an anti nausea med that had a sedative in it so I could chill out a bit. I finally settled down with my Vampire Diaries. That night was not too bad, I at my comfort food, turkey sub and slept all night. The next day I had my nulesta (sp?) shot that is suppose to take the white blood cells from my bone marrow and bring them back out to cover for all of the ones the chemo killed. That day I could not eat much and every smell bothered me beyond words. The day after my shot was the worst so far. I was nauseous all day and had these horrible bone aches from the shot the day before. I now know that I need to keep up on my meds or I am going to be a hurting puppy! I still have such a hard time with them pumping all of these crazy drugs into me that cause these horrible side effects that need more drugs to counter act them. Whatever I have to do to not have this happen again I am cool with but it still disturbed me quite a bit.

I had an amazing weekend with friends and was feeling super tired but well enough to go out.  I have my next treatment on Tuesday and shot on Thursday. I am worried about being well enough for the Jog for Jugs on Saturday that so many people are walking/running in my honor. I guess I will just have to put on my big girl panties and suck it up for the morning even if that means paying for it on Mother's Day.

Thank you to all at are coming out to support me at the Jog for Jugs! You have no idea how much it means to me and my family to have this much support!  Thank you to everyone who has been making us meals and sending gift cards. It makes our life so much easier and smoother! I hope you all understand how much we appreciate and need these! THANK YOU ALL!
