Short post - One Down..

I had my first round of chemo today. Dr. Rassam is great and his chemo nurse Catherine is awesome!

I had had a very positive feeling there on my initial visit and felt strongly that this is a place where I can have healing and peace, gain my strength and claim my health anew.

It hurt this time - probably more than it ever will again - because my port is so newly placed - okay I have decided it is as alien invasion type thing so it will henceforth be called implanted.... until we can eject the aliens and remove it!!

Catherine explains each step and what each drug is prior to putting it in. LOADS of anti-nausea IV and those can make you drowsy. There is actually a lot of sleeping that goes on in the infusion room. I may be one of those who refuse to succumb, though. Well, somebody has to be on the alert.

I came home and took a 90 minute solid sleep nap and I just want to let my loved ones know I am okay.
