Yesterday I started my chemo treatments at the New Mexico Cancer Center here in Albuquerque. Our day at the Center began at 8:15 a.m. and ended at 1:15. The staff we worked with were very caring, explained all the procedures and the drugs I'm being given and gave us information on the side effects for each drug and answered all questions. The process began with a blood draw, a dose of a steroid for nausea along with a saline solution and then each of the three drugs were administered with close watching to be sure I tolerated them well, which I did. Ron was able to be with me the entire time so I had support. My dear friend whom I consider a sister, Ceil also came by to see how I was doing and to offer her support. It really meant a lot to me. Thank you, Ceil.
It is now a day later as I write this and so far I am feeling fine but was prescribed anti nausea medication to take as needed.
I am optimistic that I will beat this cancer and as I told my daughter in law, I will be around into my 90's to drive my family nuts if I haven't already. Ha ! Ha! So many friends and family have written wishing me well and praying for my recovery and I want to thank each you and to let you know how much your support and prayers mean.
Thank you for the update! Continuing to pray for you daily. :)
