First infusion
It is quite strange for me to write about my first experience with chemo here, with me not being the recipient. As I started this site many months ago, I assumed it would be my chemo treatment I shared details about…never once, even for a split moment, did I think I’d share an experience aside my sister.
But in an effort to help others, I must share that the first round of chemo treatments are not as scary as you might think. Don’t get me wrong, its no picnic to undergo, but on the other hand…my sister and I took the few hours of “drip” as a time to catch up…and with me googling the internet on wireless for random things we wondered about.
One thing to share is that we aort of assumed there would be no eating or drinking in the treatment room…and just the opposite. We saw all sorts of snacks and mini meals enjoyed by others…so rest assured, we’ll be “packed better” for our visit in two weeks. Needless to say, our chatter never ran out, so my cards and random distractions didn’t get touched.
Oh, all the unknowns to learn!
