3 down…13 to go!

Had my 3rd chemo treatment today. Feeling real tired from the ‘amend’ which is one of the anti-nausea meds but no nausea yet. In fact I just polished off a bowl of americone dream ice cream. Delish!

I have no doubt the nausea will kick in by morning, but I’m going in for fluids and meds both Sunday and Monday to hopefully head off the worst that usually hits on Monday. Cross your fingers that going two days in a row will help.

My treatment was bookended by some wonderful things. On the way to chemo I got to visit my beautiful friend Laura and her 5 day old son. He is absolutely gorgeous and it was amazing to hold him. Then we got home to our very clean house thanks to our cleaners and I had an awesome gift bag full of bath goodies and more from my lovely friend Michelle who just moved to west Seattle. Yay!

I know the coming week is going to be difficult. Beyond the bad nausea, supposedly I’m going to get way more tired with this round. But I’ll persevere and lean heavily on friends and family. I’ve found hugs and laughing to be just excellent therapy. They’ve taken the place of cupcakes and wine these days (OMG I do so miss my red wine!!!).

Here are some photos from treatment. The vial is that damn red devil. Only 1 more of those to go!!
