Chemo #3

It seemed to go a lot like the last round--tired, drugged, weak feeling.  Then the stomach sickness and nausea come, then the constipation, headaches, and aches all over come.  I'll be feeling good one minute, then have to go lay down for an hour.  I've been getting sooooo bored of laying around, but it's really all I can do!  This time it seemed to stay for longer and come in spurts.

I didn't get to see my doctor, but I saw the PA.  She said that I should really try to keep going without a port.  She wouldn't give me pictures of my tumors from my initial PET scan--- apparently I have to go to radiology and ask.  Don't worry, once  I get enough energy to go down to Provo, I'll post a picture of those bad boys.

My veins in my left arm still haven't recovered from my biopsy and my second chemo treatment.  Sad. My right arm feels okay! Maybe it will hold up.

I definitely am not looking forward to going back to that place.  I even get sick thinking about it.  One thing though--- they have a bistro there and it had a REALLY good parfait.  Guys, I haven't really wanted to eat, so if I'm craving something, that's really good.  So, I'll treat myself to a parfait each time and maybe that will take the edge off.

I really get why kids don't like going to the doctor.  For the first few times they remember, they always get shots.  That's not pleasant.  Same with this "doctoring" experience.  Nothing fun comes from getting infused with Chemo.  I guess the parfaits are nice... but you have to pay for them.
