Chemo Day

Today was chemo day #2. For a little while I was concerned that I may not even be able to have chemo today. Yesterday I had to go for blood tests to make sure that my system was ready to be destroyed again. I guess my white blood count was lower than they like...but luckily they decided it was close enough and I could have treatment today. When I got to the clinic today they noticed that my PICC line - tube thingy in my arm - had come out a bit. They sent me for a chest x-ray to make sure it was still in a vein in my chest and then called my oncologist to see if they could still give me chemo. After a couple of hours it was decided that I was good to go....man I don't need anymore stress. Chemo itself is a fairly easy process. You sit in a chair hooked up to an IV for a few hours with nurses coming over to check on you every few minutes. You really feel nothing...just bored. Today Wes came with me and helped to entertain me. After chemo we went to Subway and I ate an entire foot long sub!!! I am trying to eat lots now because I know my appetite will be going soon. So now it has been about 3 hours since I left the hospital and I am beginning to feel quite tired and have a bit of a headache. I didn't sleep the greatest last night which could partially account for my tiredness and the fact that I have just been given some serious chemicals :) Hopefully things will go as smoothly as last time and I will be back to normal in a few more days.
